All of a sudden more than half of my fonts are gone. They're regularly present in the fonts system folder but all the applications won't recognize but the same few. Simple rebooting is useless, Tweak's repair functions won't help and I can't reinstall the missing fonts... even deleting them from Control Panel gives me an error message (after which they are deleted, though). I believe my fonts folder is damaged as these are more or less the same symptoms I had a while back when I was told that was the problem... then I reinstalled Win98SE and everything was fine until now (3 months later). I really wish I could fix this problem without having to reinstall the whole operating system again. Any help? Thanks in advance.

People would like to know what programs have you been running just before the incident happened? so that we keep on guard using them before offering any help.

I wasn't using any particular program... just standard Windows applications. Outlook Express and Microsoft Word97.

Well, that's something, not at all innocent stuff. Remember faintly have read somebody posting similar problem recently, most probably still in the 1-10 wwwboards. (I hope the poster was not yourself, I've no idea.) See if you find a clue there.

Hmmm... might have been me but I'll go check. Thanks!
