I just got a new hard drive and all of SCAR's fonts are messed up.

Side numbers are messed up, bolds aren't really bold, the font is lighter than it should be...

Windows XP btw.
(Downloading Ubuntu 9.10 so don't say anything about Windows / Ubuntu unless it helps me)

It's not scar's fonts, it's your operating systems fonts/setting.
Edit: I think...

Yeah, that is not SCAR's fonts it is Window's fonts.

Reinstalling SCAR shouldn't do anything, but have you tried it?

Wait you're using a custom theme mod, Windows Blinds? I remember screwing around with similar and it changed my default fonts.

I don't really know what fonts I need to re-install so...
I know that SCAR uses Windows fonts.

I used this theme (VistaVG Black) on my old HD and everything worked smoothly.

I already tried re-installing my fonts...
I'm just gonna plugin my old hard drive, boot it and take the fonts from it.

Hopefully that will work.

Alright, I'm sure you know where the fonts are already, but just to make sure, they're located at C:\Windows\Fonts.

@uncfan1119: did that but it didn't work.

I tried getting the fonts from my old hd but it doesn't fix my font problem nor re-installing SCAR.

Anyone know any solutions?

You try this?

1 Go to the Fonts folder (generally [WINDOWS INSTALLATION DRIVE]:\WINOWS\Fonts) thru Windows Explorer
2 Set as 'List View'
3 Sort by 'Modified Date'
4 Use good-sense to make the difference between the dates to see which ones were installed with the packaging.



If not, delete every font that isn't here: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/winxp.htm or here:http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx

I doubt that would work.
