Desktop font changes = annoying

Why is it (and i've always had this problem with Windows 98 in the past) that when I change my icon fonts, menu bar fonts etc to Tahoma, on the next reboot they change to Times New Roman? It's really annoying, and I have never been able to work out why Win98 can't keep the settings?

Thing is, I am shutting it down properly and ok. And it only seems to happen when I try and use Tahoma.

If it's only that particular font then maybe MS decided that there was some character or characters that were unsuitable for W98SE. Just a wild guess.
Summary: You could try to restore the registry to a date prior to the font change. Boot to MS-DOS mode and type SCANREG /RESTORE Choose a date when all was working okay. Worth a try ! Krystyna ...
Summary: Desktop randomly changes to High Contrast Black Extra Large And it sometimes changes back again of its own accord. Any Ideas? No viruses found. ...
