Josh1 Administrator	posted August 08, 2007 02:06 PM You are welcome, and I am not sure but that might mess with your format you want to use, and defualt back to the defualt settings ------------------ www.220power.com IP: Logged
capriceus Member	posted August 05, 2007 10:19 PM Hi Josh1, Thank you ! I really appreciate this. I will follow your instructions. Now I have other questions, before I do the above procedure that you gave me. I am going to try to teach myself Arabic and need Arabic fonts. They are on my computer already, now I have engaged the feature English/Arabic, so I can easily switch from one to the other. Will this affect the instructions above that you gave me? Or will it interfere in any way with the normal computer operation, so that I would need to change anything else? Thanks again ! IP: Logged
Josh1 Administrator	posted August 05, 2007 04:48 PM Try this Restore default XP Fonts: 1. Make a folder C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW 2. Open Command Prompt and go to the i386 folder of your Windows XP CD-ROM (or C: drive if there) 3. Type: expand -r .tt_ C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW .ttf 4. Type: expand -r .fo_ C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW .fon 5. Type: expand DESKTOP.IN_ C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW\DESKTOP.INI (this file makes the Fonts folder "special" with all the features). 6. Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, go to your WINDOWS\FONTS folder. (Do NOT go to Fonts from the Control Panel). 7. Copy all the files you see, and paste them into the WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW folder. Choose "No to All" when prompted to overwrite. (This step will ensure that all extra fonts that you or programs have added, will be available afterwards.) 8. Restart your computer into the Windows Recovery Console by booting with the Windows XP CD-ROM and pressing "R" in the Setup. 9. Go to C:\WINDOWS and type: ren FONTS FONTS.OLD 10. Type: ren FONTS.NEW FONTS You're all set! Just restart your computer. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1183426874 ------------------ www.220power.com IP: Logged

capriceus Member	posted July 23, 2007 07:18 PM I need to clarify my problem more. The script type itself, also changes back by itself, no matter to what I have changed it. In other words, I change things, the formatting doesn`t hold, as it all changes back by itself. IP: Logged
capriceus Member	posted July 23, 2007 06:13 PM Hi, I have Windows XP Home Ed. Have nevr been able to lock in the size and style of fonts, when I use WordPad. I do the fonts format, key in my choices. It appears to be OK, but it never locks in. That is, the size and style of fonts change back to what it was, no matter to what I have changed it. What can I do to fix this problem , as the font formatting procedure does not hold ? Thanks ! IP: Logged
