Windows XP default font issues

[Guest schaeri]

A while ago I was cleaning up some old unused font files from my computer and I accidentally deleted the Tahoma font.

 

My problem now is whenever I open certain applications, for example ActiveSync for my pocket PC or the print properties on my printer, or even when installing a new program, the font used to display application specific text on the screen isn't the Windows default font and I end up with a window with alot of options which isn't resizeable and because of the change in the font I can't see all the options.

 

It isn't application specific because it still happens with an application that is installed after that problem occurred and the result is the same.

 

I have already tried reinstalling the fonts and nothing has changed.

 

Does anyone know how to restore this back to the Windows XP default font?

 

Thanks.

I think you can change the default font by right clicking destop, select properties, select appearance tab and then advanced properties.
