"~sigh~ somethings gone wrong again"


  

          

I think my fonts are corrupted or something. I'm getting little squares in programs where there should be text. See screenshot

You are probably running a theme or otherwise set the font for active Windows to a font that is missing or damaged. What version of Windows are you running?

This sometimes happens when a font is missing and is called.

You might try changing a default font for whatever is trying to write and see whether anything changes.....

From your cabinet files or from the ME CD.

The easiest way is to extract them, otherwise you are into over-installing.

If you use find file and type: .CAB (*.cab in '98)

... and then, on the second line add any of the files below you will find all of these fonts in the WIN_17.CAB Folder. Just extract them with a right-click and place them into the: C:\WINDOWS\FONTS Folder.

I have 27 system fonts on this Pan-European version of ME all in C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\*.FON

Other true type fonts have a .TTF extension.

Of the 27, only 7 show, whilst the other 19 are hidden system fonts.

ALL 29 have a red A (Archive) icon.

The 20 hidden files are:

8514FIX.FON
8514OEM.FON
8541SYS.FON
APP850.FON
COURE.FON
COURF.FON
DOSSAPP.FON
MODERN.FON
SERIFE.FON
SERIFF.FON
SMALLE.FON
SMALLF.FON
SSERIFE.FON
SSERIFF.FON
SYMBOLE.FON
SYMBOLF.FON
VGA850.FON
VGAFIX.FON
VGAOEM.FON
VGASYS.FON

The 7 which show are:

WST_CZEC.FON
WST_ENGL.FON
WST_FREN.FON
WST_GERM.FON
WST_ITAL.FON
WST_SPAN.FON
WST_SWED.FON

XWCLCD.fon is for the Xerox printer, and
VIROUT.FON IS FOR AVG Grisoft Anti-Virus

I extracted the DOSSAPP.FON myself. It does not usually show since DOS was partially removed.

You should compare this with a US System.
