Default Help, All fonts are gone


Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place but I am depressed to solve this
sudden problem.


My windows update is scheduled every Sunday midnight. Now I woke up
today and found the laptop has already restarted after the updates.

I logged in and everything is weird, the font is set to "LCD" font and
every thing is just Win98-looks-like. I tried to check the fonts folder
and there is nothing but this lcd font. I tried to restore and the
restore failed and after that the restore points have disappeared.
Moreover, I have tried to roll back and uninstall all the last updates
but it didn't work.


Please help as I am about to finish my PhD thesis and now this is
preventing me from doing nothing.


I tried to search for the default fonts pack for vista but couldn't
find but the powerpoint viewer method which adds few fonts, a reason
made me able to post this thread for now.


Please help

Hi Again

I have solved the problem by using the fonts backup from
DRIVE:/Windows/Winsxs/backup and it worked, I mean I at least can
choose from different fonts but I can't see what I used to write the
thesis, for instance I used the font "Garamond" but I couldn't find it
in the backup.


I am wondering if there is a link to download the fonts for office2k7.
If not it is OK

Reinstall Office. It will replace at least the Office fonts. It is likely
that you used one of these to write your thesis.
