Font(s) fouled up
Big problem. On my new machine I've been setting up a dual boot, W7 first and then XPsp3 added so I can use a few programs that cannot run in W7. So I wanted to include my old XP font collection in the new setup. I copied all the fonts directly into the new XP's font folder, overwriting whatever. Zam, blam, after rebooting XP some of the fonts the os uses were replaced by strange geometric symbols. These include the font(s) for the word Start, the font for the choices at the top of the start panel screen, for much of the control panels introductory screen, the font used in the title bar in all open programs, the 'windows is shutting down now screen' and the screen where you choose which user the os will set up for when booting. Is there any way to fix this situation without reinstalling XP?
