Windows Drop Down Menu Font

Couple of days ago, I install some east Asian language code page on my PC and now it has messed up the drop down menu font in both the Open and Close dialog windows. It didn't appear to me to be a widespread problem at the beginning. I only realised the problem's presence when I opened a database project of mine using Access and found out that the font in the database window has completely changed. Although I can't say what font it is, but I know that's not the one I want and it makes me feel unpleasent. So, does anyone know how to change the font back? Please reply and thanks in advance.
p.s. I haven't tried system restore yet, I'm leaving it as the last resort.

Go to the Control Panel---Add/Remove Programs. See if it is listed and remove it.

No, it's not listed there. The reason is because it is listed in the regional language section. However, I did try to remove these code pages, and reboot the computer, but, it didn't help. Plus now I got the this problem of not being able to read text contains ' properly. It displays some kind of double bytes characters. I then tried system restore. It failed too, saying something like not able to restore to a certain restore point. I had also tried to copy the framedyn to system32 folder, that didn't help either, still can't restore. Now then, I'm really stuck. Can anyone help?
