Windows Vista font problem

[Ayush]

Hey Guys

I'm running Windows Vista on my system. Whenever i try to browse either Internet Explorer or Firefox, the font is either seen in italic or it becomes bold and black. Does any one have any idea about this issue? How do i get rid of this problem? Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

To make sure that ClearType is enabled, you'll need to open the classic Appearance Settings dialog. Right click on the desktop and choose Personalize. Then click on Window Color and Appearance.

If you have Aero enabled, you'll have to click on "Open classic appearance properties for more color options".

Click on the "Effect" button and make sure that your computer has the checkbox for font smoothing enabled.

You can change the font that Windows is using in the Appearance tab of the Display Properties. Just click on the Advanced button in that menu and select the element that you want to change the font for. You should see an immediate difference if you select one of the new fonts and have cleartype enabled. Users who use a custom design have to take care that the new font does not break the design. It could take some time until you get it right.

Try to change your font settings. Try to change the color scheme of Windows Vista, and then change it back to Windows Vista aero, under the classic appearance. Then try resetting the DPI font scaling to the default 96 and reboot your system.
