Fonts Are Messed Up

My IE fonts are mess up. They are no blocky and pixelated. It's like this at every site, including this one. How do I fix that and go back to the way it was? I use Windows 98SE.

Try checking your text size. Open IE, got to VIEW then TEXT SIZE. Make sure it is set to Medium. Good luck

It's on medium, but large makes it at least readable. I was playing with HijackThis, then it started looking like this. I restored everything from HijackThis, but it didn't fix anything.

Hmm....just guessing here, but try going to Internet Options, Advanced and then restore defaults. Maybe that will change the font back.

ALL MY FONTS ARE GONE! My C:\windows\fonts folder only has 4 fonts. I was working as a free lance web designer and had several hundred installed. This is so much crap.

See if the MS KB article, Missing TrueType Fonts in Fonts Folder or Programs, is of any help.

It indicates a registry problem so if it doesn't address your exact problem, it gives you a place to start.
