Hey,

Got a small and extremely annoying problem on my hands, this started yesterday I was on the PC yada yada. Shut down the box when out grabbed some dinner come to back fire the machine up. Boom italic everywhere basically anything that doesn’t have a preset font is in italic now. Web Pages, Word documents, even game menus.

Anyways I can't seem to get it back to normal any help would be very very appreciated.

when I was testing XP server (those days) we had some kind of similar bug, it was adding couple of german layouts after the reboot, changing fonts, yadayada. just change it in the settings back to normal.

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...

Well that's the problem all the settings appear to be normal yet the italics stays.

Fastest way to fix windows is to reinstall the thing, on the other hand, change font settings to something else than the present normal, reboot, then change it back to normal. I don't use XP no more, don't remember exact steps to fix it. Usually as I've said, change to different than you need, then back to what you need.
