Need help with windows system font
Monday, January 23, 2006 by Loth0308 | Discussion: OS Customization
My husband bought this computer and everything that uses text on it uses the font of Tahoma. And it's a nice crisp font that I like. Now when I say everything uses this font I mean EVERYTHING uses this font. When he installed ICQ and MSN Messenger they both used the Tahoma font without him having to tell the to. When he browses the internet his browser windows use Tahoma. When he clicks on File at the top of his browser window and the pulldown window comes down the text in THAT window is Tahoma. I mean EVERYTHING uses Tahoma. I want MY computer to do that. Now I've tried goin' into the Registry and changing a value so it loads Tahoma but that doesn't seem to help much. Tried goin' into Advanced settings of Appearance when you right click the desktop and changing all the values to Tahoma but that didn't help. I even tried installing my husband's Tahoma font off of his computer onto mine to update it to the version he is using, no dice. So, I notice on some of the screenshots that I see if people's desktop on here that you have the same thing. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!?!?!?! I have screenshots that I did not include.
