FONT PROBLEMS - Arial font Family reduced to italic and bold in Windows 7

Hi,

a. Which trial program did you use to customize the fonts?

Method 1. You can restore the default font and remove any changes that you've made to your display settings from Appearance and Personalization.

Here’s how:

1.    Open Fonts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.

2.    In the left pane, click Font settings.

3.    Click Restore default font settings.

4.    Go through each item and reset fonts (where appropriate) to Segoe UI 9pt, not bold, not italic. (All the settings in a default Win7 or Vista machine will be Segoe UI 9pt.)

Note:

This also removes all manual changes that you've made to your display settings.

Method 2. If this doesn't work or I should say, if all your settings here are already Segoe UI 9pt then you have probably inadvertently changed your ClearType settings. ClearType is how Windows draws fonts on-screen, and depending on the screen, different settings will be needed for optimal font display.

To fix this in Win7:

1. Right-click the desktop. Choose "Personalize."
2. Click "Display"
3. Click "Adjust ClearType Text"
4. A window will pop up. Make sure its checkbox ("Turn on ClearType") is checked. Click "Next."
5. Follow the prompts through the wizard, adjusting until the fonts look "right" again.

I've listed couple of links that could be of assistance to you.
