    Does your vista font look like this?:

    I don't know what I did, but since last nite mine does. Not only in the browser but everywhere else too (including windows explorer)

    My system restore is turned off (probably because of dual-boot xp) and I can't restore it or see the changes. I remember installing avi2dvd...

    tried <del>reinstalling</del> restarting, and scanning C:\...

    This isn't really a problem but this font is annoying

    Any ideas? Ways to fix that/change the font?

    Thanks

    I remember that in XP you could change the default font used in Windows through the Appearance tab in the Display Properties, but unfortunately I haven't figured out how to do that in vista.

    i know if you right click on the desktop go personalize, windows color and appearance, open classic appearance properties and more color options, then click advanced you get a drop down and you can change certain text options there. ex click the drop down and go menu and it will show you what text windows will use for the menu. all of my text options are set to candara. not sure if thats gonna fix your problem tho.
