My Fonts Suddenly Changed

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

All the fonts in my XP turned italic. I do not know wat happened. All the
fonts I see on screen and those that I typed are in italics. Be it in IE,
Words or MSN. Just happened a couple of days ago. I would appreciate if
anyone can help. Thanx so much!

So I guess you meant I might have been infected by some virus or malware and
not that I accidentally changed some of the windows settings.

Thanx very much for the info, I'll run the recommended scans and see wat I
can do about it =)
