I'm trying to solve a problem on a friends computer, on some webpages (webshots) and some games (2) from cd's she gets symbols instead of words. Now this only happens in certain places on the games and so far in one spot in photo manager in webshots.

She's running win98 se, which I overinstalled using a new win98 se disk, that did not solve the problem.

If anyone has any idea is to why this is happening or ways to solve this, PLEASE get back to me.

You can e-mail me at jjbt4u@yahoo.ca

I can use all the help you can give.

hi,

Windows 98 can be a right pain-in-the-you-know-what when it comes to fonts, and how applications use the system/default fonts.

E.g. deleting the marlett font means that your maximise/minimise buttons go blank ;(

It maybe the case that a new scheme is being used (Display Properties/Appearance tab) that has its own default font. Try changing back to Windows Default.
It might be the webshots software causing this change you just never know!

You can try TweakUI - the repair fonts button may help:

This ms article shows how to restore default fonts:

Its an involved process so id do this last if the other suggestions dont work
