Fonts Disappeared?
Hi guys, So I used to have Arial Narrow, and Rage Italics, font like that, and now I don't have them on my laptop. For some reason, they disappeared. What's more puzzling is that I was working on my document using Arial Narrow font and then I left the laptop on for 10 minutes, came back and all of the sudden the font was no longer there. The font no longer was there, even though I didn't install or uninstall any programs. I didn't restart my computer. So the fonts just decide to disappear/uninstall themselves? What is going on? Can anyone help me please? Thank you.

Can anyone help me please? Hi Are they just missing in the program you are using, or are they gone from the Fonts folder? Open Control Panel / Fonts. Locate the Arial Icon and double click to open that font category. If any of the different Arial fonts appear with a 'dimmed' icon, right click that font and select the Show item. Let us know what you find. Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

If the fonts are missing from the Fonts folder, you can try restoring the system to the previous date to check the result. For more information, refer to: What is System Restore? If the issue persists, you can use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files and see if it works.

If I do that, will any documents that have been saved between that restore point and now be deleted? Thanks

If I do that, will any documents that have been saved between that restore point and now be deleted? Thanks Hi Please see: What types of files does System Restore change? "System Restore can make changes to Windows system files, registry settings, and programs installed on your computer. It can also make changes to scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files created under any user account on your computer. Personal files, such as documents, e-mail, photos, and music files, are not changed." Hope this helps. Thank You for using Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Hi, So I looked in the fonts folder, no fonts are "hidden", but Arial Narrow and Rage Italics (ones I used to have ) are not there any more. What do I so? Did it uninstall itself? Thanks
