re: Restoring Default Font Monday, July 2, 2007 at 6:41 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) I have this in my Tips database: Restore default XP Fonts: 1. Make a folder C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW 2. Open Command Prompt and go to the i386 folder of your Windows XP CD-ROM (or C: drive if there) 3. Type: expand -r *.tt_ C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW *.ttf 4. Type: expand -r *.fo_ C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW *.fon 5. Type: expand DESKTOP.IN_ C:\WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW\DESKTOP.INI (this file makes the Fonts folder "special" with all the features). 6. Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, go to your WINDOWS\FONTS folder. (Do NOT go to Fonts from the Control Panel). 7. Copy all the files you see, and paste them into the WINDOWS\FONTS.NEW folder. Choose "No to All" when prompted to overwrite. (This step will ensure that all extra fonts that you or programs have added, will be available afterwards.) 8. Restart your computer into the Windows Recovery Console by booting with the Windows XP CD-ROM and pressing "R" in the Setup. 9. Go to C:\WINDOWS and type: ren FONTS FONTS.OLD 10. Type: ren FONTS.NEW FONTS You're all set! Just restart your computer.
