Help with font issue

[ciajoe]

I have some sites displaying a weird font.

Attached is an image of one example.



It has nothing to do with size or encoding, but here are those settings for reference

Encoding: Western Europe
Text Size: Medium
Tools/Internet Options/Font: Latin Based / Times New Roman / Courier New

I've been struggling with this for quite some time now.
Also, a good example where I see this is yahoo web based email.
If I go to compose a new message on mail.yahoo.com, when I type in someones address, this font
appears in the to: field also.

I mainly see this where I believe a style sheet is called.

Here is the Yahoo mail example:

Have you tried this?

Right click on your desktop and choose Properties. Choose the Appearance Tab, click on Advanced, then under Item, select Window from the drop down and see if you can choose a different font. I've always seen this option grayed out, but figure it's worth a shot.

Take a look under EI>Tools>Internet Options>General>Accessibility.
Are all the boxes unticked? Mine are and I get craigs list to display as expected.

All unticked

Well,

I just opened ATM Type manager (font folio)
It appears it's something to do with a couple of fonts I have loaded.

I solved the craigslist issue (kinda) but now I have a totally different font.

I probably need to get a list of all of the default Windows XP fonts, unload the rest and reinstall fontfolio

Thanks guys
