Please help me fix my font problem, please...

    Yesterday I was deleting some old stuff from my computer.

    I got rid of some junk, tried to delete Microsoft Outlook but the uninstall "rolled back" because a file or something was missing.

    Now, whenever I view page source (in Firefox) or receive email (in Thunderbird) the font shows up as really tiny cursive that is very difficult to read.

    What happened and how can I fix it?

    By the way, all the fonts on my desktop, when I search the internet, etc. are normal.

    well there can be few ways and causes but try these:

    1. did your font change or they are just shrunk to certain %?
    ^, right click on desktop and go to appearance

    2. if the other, you have corrupted fonts due to bad uninstall/installs

    solution

    Download desired font (times new roman or any of your choice and save it into a folder)

    reboot your comp in safe mode, and delete existing same fonts.

    then rebooted again in normal mode and go back to the font folder, clicked file>install new font and install the fonts you've saved before or use Windows CD to get fonts.

    reboot one more time

    Thanks for the reply, kaung!

    It's not #1, so I'll give your solution for #2 a try.

    I appreciate it!
