    Apparently, while I uninstalled Left 4 Dead it deleted some essential fonts from my system (Arial?). So now, I'm left with some irregular italicized and bolded fonts. I've tried restoring the Arial font, which fixed some italiczed font but still leaves others (like the text box I'm typing in right now) funky.

    I looked around, and I'm having the same problem as the this guy:

    How can I fix this?

    Image Shack is a mess for me since they changed it...

    If I understand you correctly you are missing fonts, yes?

    Now I don't think this is a legal problem for standard fonts:
    Copy them from a friends computer and instal on yours.
    ("drop and drag" from font folder, then "drop and drag" into your font folder)

    Or: If you have Office/MS Works it should instal fonts, so maybe run a "reapair" on one of those programms. It could work.

    Nevermind, I got it. Turns out many people have this problem, I solved it by right clicking inside the fonts folder --> Install New font --> Select All --> Install. For some reason it made Windows not detect some fonts even though they were still there.

    Btw Imageshack still allows direct image links, they just hid it so you use their advertised links.

    The direct image link will be hidden near the bottom, you just click "Show Advanced Linking" and it will pop out.
