O'Connel,

It should only change system settings and files, not your personal data. I would recommend to back up anything that you do not want to lose just to be safe though.

Re: Fonts - Change Default

How you should have installed the font that was bundled with mac, namely Lucida Grande, to c:\windows\fonts.

Re: Fonts - Change Default

Hello 386sky,

I'm not sure if a font from a Mac would work in Vista. Normally you would just drag and drop the font into that folder to install it.

Re: Fonts - Change Default

O'Connel,

Did you already try the tutorial to see if you can change the fonts back to how you want them for each item?

If yes, then you may be able to do a Repair (upgrade) install instead of a clean install. See the NOTE box at that link to see if you can.

Re: Fonts - Change Default

I tried to change the font default from Times New Roman 10 to Arial 12 which was always so easy in XP but when I followed Brink's suggestion, regedit, did not succeed.

Hello Deanooo, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you mean from OPTION ONE (Step One), then you can only use the actual name of the font and not any size with it.

Were you not able to change them using Step Two?

Re: Fonts - Change Default

I would like to get rid of the Times New Roman default and make Arial my default. I would also like to change the font size from 10 default to a 12. I am new to Vista and didn't have this type of problem with XP. Thank you for posting.
