    Font is bold inside most app windows!? HEELP :/


    Hi there. Today I decided to get a new theme for my web browser (Firefox) so I did. I found one that I liked and downloaded it and installed it. At the same time I was cleaning games and apps I was not using. As I was browsing trough the list of apps i noticed that the pop up box of Skype (when someone signs in) has bold font. I clicked and opened Skype to discover that the font there is bold as well. Then I saw it on Facebook actually every web page has a bold font now.. Some other apps i use (Hamachi, Antispy, etc..) show up the same way. I googled this issue but all the solutions did not help me so far.

    I want to say again that my dialog boxes, system windows and desktop icons are fine like they were. This appears in app windows. here are a few snaps

    Tried that. The problem was that I'm not sure if the restore point was before the problem occurred. It was made when i uninstalled iTunes and i don't have any other RP available. So that does not work for me.

    Um no guy. I tried all the registry files none of them work.
    As for Koolkat's question, yes i tried and right now the theme is not installed and I'm still in bold. There is somthing else. I noticed that I can't choose Tahoma or Times New Roman in Skype for the chat windows. Then I went in the "Fonts" folder and I didn't find a file named that way. I downloaded Tahoma, and when i tried to install it it said that it is already installed.. I replaced it anyway and the fonts still don't show up..
    I was thinking if someone can archive their fonts folder to send it over.

    you may try User Account - Create just to see if the fonts are bold or normal in that user.

    Nope tried both guest (before u suggest) and i just tried to create a new account same thing there. Now the Tahoma font appears in the Fonts folder but i still can't find it when I decide to change my Skype font for instance. Times New Roman is still missing in the default Fonts folder tough. This is getting really frustrating.
    I still think i should reinstall all default fonts somehow.

    Try this:

    Start> Control panel (if in category view, switch to large or small icon view)> Fonts> Font settings on left list> Restore default font settings

    Another possibility is that ClearType is turned off. (for an LCD) Or turned on for a CRT.
