Fonts where have they gone ?

It is possible to loose your fonts.

If you reinstall them you may find that when you re‐boot that they disappear again

A known cause of loosing fonts is McAfee Quick clean ( Although I may be sued for this comment )

It is a messy problem but happily can be solved.

What it means is that your Registry ( That horrid word ) has become corrupted

It means a trip to the Registry with all my usual caveats.

First though move the contents of your Fonts folder to an empty ( Suitably named folder)

Go to :‐

Start > Run > type in the box without quotes “ Regedit “ Enter/OK

Scroll in XP to:‐ Caveat HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\

Current version\Fonts

( It may not be there so skip the next line )

Highlight Fonts and Delete it

Now you have to re‐create it Go to :‐

Edit ( At the top of the window )

Select New and name the new key Fonts

Close and re‐start the computer.

Now re‐install fonts by going to :‐

Control Panel

Double Click Fonts

Select “ Install New Fonts “ from the previously made folder

I told you it was messy
