I was minding my own business this weekend.. surfing and playing around.. then windows wantaed to do a restart after some updates.. afer that.. guess what... i was not able to read.. everything was like in wingdings....

tried safe mode.. still nothing.. did a system restore.. still.. dint help...
checked the forum.. tried http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/106279-fonts-change-default.html

dint help..

got a strange feeling.. went to c:/windows/font and all I had there were 4 fonts.
sserife
serife
smalle
coure


and none were seen anywhere.. anyways.. good thing I have dual boot with XP.. copyed the basic Arial font and then chaged them all
Active Title Bar
Icon
Inactive Title Bar
Menu
Message Box
Palette Title
Selected Items
ToolTip

from Advanced Appearance ..
and then i could see again..


hope this help's people incase they have the same issue with the update's as I did.. will copy the vista fonts from my notebook and see how that goes..


have fun...

You might want to be checking for malware....

Or check your regional and language settings and make sure that wasn't changed from your default (I assume English)

Did a check.. came out clean from malware and i have avg running... so no virus.. the questions is not the regional and language settings here.. its the strange fact that after some updates the system lost all the fonts from the font folder.. i am attaching the picture of the update's i did.. my issue is fixed.. i wanted to share with other people if they could put some light on it or know what to do if it happen's to them...
