Does not look like anything changed from what I can tell are you sure it is not your system just displaying the wrong font?

Just install the same fonts you used on windows 98se I always keep a copy of my system fonts so when I upgrade all the main fonts I use regularly are all still their.

at home (win XP) this site and a few others look completely differnt than from work (win 98). like OP, i've looked in the Explorer fonts options, the system font options, etc. and still have not found the magic fix. my case is not as bad as what OP is experiencing, but i can relate to having the computer not look the way you want and expect it to.

HEY JOE....ill start IT in GULF BREEZE....HEHEHEHEHE. most of you are not readin.....its not something i can change(iam the guy that gets calls when everybody elses computers screw up).....this is just WITH XP ONLY. iam not impressed with most of the XP functions. it has some nice things for people who want an O/S that does everything for them. we, at least me need an O/S that can be set up to do the thing I WANT , NOT WANT IT WANTS!!! therin lies the problem with XP, it does things i dont want done. the font thing is NON-CHAGABLE, it only happens on the LETTERHEAD board, so its got to be something with the XP and the interface of the BB. no other bb's FONTS ARE CHANGED.

This may be the problem. just a slight guess.
OP. U ain't called the guy that you call when you cannot fix something in XP... Me!! Why ain't you called me yet ??????? You musta forgot I was a beta testor of XP long before any one had it.. Yer about the only one that hasn't called me yet..
Why is it that you are the only one that hates XP so much. Any way, Your default font setting must have changed somehow I would guess a few fonts or something got deleted.
Ill stop by to see you next week. Maybe i can look at yer XP death machine an kill off a few gremblins..
font probs: This problem occurs if the character set that you type is not registered in the Shift JIS character set. It is only fixable thru a post-Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP-2) fix. To install the fix, you must have Office XP SP-2 installed.

since everyone has run in circles on this how about...
what fonts are considered "system fonts" and/or are the most common used fonts for BBs like this one?
the reason i put it like this is the small headers on the top section of this BB (Hello, Log Out, Letterhead/PinHead Talk, etc.) look easier to read on the win 98. yet at home on the win XP, it's a bold, condensed font that is difficult to read. this makes me think that XP has excluded a more common font that win 98 had, thus substuting the font for (next prefered font in the HTML code/script, or closest in alphabetical order; ie:no Arial- sub Aristocrat)
Steve, do you know what fonts are your preffered font for this board?

found it. Verdana is the font i need to install at home to have it look like what i see at work.
OP track it down (or copy from your win 98 machine), install, and see if that fixes it for you.
if it doesn't and you need to change your windows header fonts, right-click on desktop go into desktop display properties>advanced, select each item and set your desired fonts (and sizes).

joe, i think XP just doesn't come with that font. since many web designers are taught verdana is (was) a system font it's a common font to default or substitue to. drop it in and the world looks a little more legible.

If you accidently delete a font it has to go to something else. Why it picked italic for an italian we will never know! And you may not of deleted a font yourself but uninstalling or a bad file may of caused your fun.

I know Youngstown. That's where you will not get your rims back. I have a Uncle near there. What you think they will take care of OP, out of towner before family? You may be Italian but just not the right family : )
Amd what do you mean years ago? They are still there, just more low key. 60's? Hey I was just a youngun then.
Get a map OP and check how close Sebring is to Youngstown. Then we will talk. Grand parents lived east of there.
