Windows 7: Weird font problem

Hope I'm posting this in the right forum...



Anyway, I just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate from Vista Ultimate. After upgrading, one of my fonts has been replaced with an outlined version in websites. Here are screenshots....

Anyone seen this before or know how to fix?


Thanks in advance!

I've seen it before. Some Web sites will list multiple fonts that CAN be used for that text if the machine has it on the computer. So for example, If I say that my headers can be rendered with Arial, Helvetica, and Verdana, the browser will render it with Helvetic first IF Arial is not on the system. If the list is backwards (Helvetica, Arial, Verdana) and you have some sort of Helvetica font on your machine (which it looks like you do), even if it's an obscure one in the font family, It'll render it.

How to fix it? remove the font. I think it's a Windows 7 thing, TBH. I had the problem once in Windows 7 but NEVER had it in XP.

Aha! That's exactly it!

Turns out it's "Helvetica Bold Outline" and the system is seeing it as Helvetica Bold. If you go to Fonts, then open the Helvetica font family... Delete the variation that's outlined, and everything goes back to normal...

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome. I knew this one right away because when I had my issue... it was with a Helvetica font. Who knew!?
