Hi,
Sometimes the texts on my computer go weird. In CCleaner, the text goes really large and you can't see most of it. I don't think there is a way to change text size in CCleaner. A restart of CCleaner sometimes works but not always. In MSN, when I go to Messenger Plus preferences, I have a password set. There should be text there, but there isn't. Just a blank box where I can type my password. There used to be texts and there used to be no problems, I can't remember how it came to be like this. System restore comes with not fix. There could be other stuff that screwed, but I've either forgotten it or haven't found it yet.

Ok, this is getting really annoying. Today, Steam decided to give no words as well. Can't see the names of the games, only the icons.
No-one knows how to fix?

EDIT: YAY. I think I found fix.

Someone there suggested changing the default font, and it worked! Everything has words again. I set the theme back to XP default and thta changed the font as well, so problem fixed.
Seems like I was the only one helping me.

Nice work.

I guess not many people move away from the default fonts. Now you mention it though I think I have seen a thread or two (not here) where custom fonts have messed some programs up. I would have never thought to suggest that was the problem though...
