Windows 7: Windows Seven Doesn't have any words.

Take every item that supports font selection and set it to "Segoe UI", size 9 and color it black.
Desktop doesn't support font selection. Only these items support the function:

Active title bar
Icon
Inactive title bar
Menu
Message box
Palette title
Selected items
Tool tip

Just check these items first and I'll post something else in 5 mins.

Open notepad, copy/paste the code below, save the file as cfc.BAT

Code:

@echo off
echo Your computer will restart after this, close all programs/save your work etc. and
pause
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
net stop "FontCache"
CD /d %windir%\system32
attrib -h -s -r Fntcache.dat
DEL Fntcache.dat /a
shutdown /r /t 5

Save all your work, close all open programs and then
right click on the file and select "Run as administrator...".

It clears your font cache.

Code:

taskkill - used for closing applications/processes
(you can't delete a file that's being used by an application 
so you have to close the app first)

net stop - stops a service
(you can see a list of running services if you hit Start-Run 
and type in Services.msc)
(but don't change anything unless you know what you're 
doing)

cd - changes the current directory

attrib - sets file attributes 
(the "del" command below can't delete files that are marked 
as read only or marked as a system file)

del - delete a file from the current directory or from a 
given path

shutdown - used for shutting down, rebooting, logging off or 
hibernating your pc

taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F - kills your windows explorer
net stop "FontCache" - stops the font cache service
CD /d %windir%\system32
attrib -h -s -r Fntcache.dat - Changes directory to Windows\System32 directory and makes the font cache data file writable, and visible.
DEL Fntcache.dat /a - Deletes your font cache data file
shutdown /r /t 5 - Shuts down and reboots your computer after a 5 sec delay.

Whoever put this on your computer has deliberately wrecked your display fonts and you should ask them why they have done this.

I tested the code on my PC first and - surprisingly - it didn't cause any damage.

Sorry for late reply. The BAT file you gave me did not work. Still no fonts.

Try running your system up and doing a repair install as long as you have an original installation disc. If you are not sure on this, here are the instructions:- Repair Install
