Fonts Problem

[707kandi]

Ok...so I made an error - but now I need to know how to fix it! I was playing around with my fonts and apparently uninstalled or deleted several system type fonts. Now I need to know how to get them back!! Is it easier to just reinstall Windows? Im running xp home edition. If I just reinstall is it like the older versions where it reinstalls over everything and all is well (ok, just somewhat well)? Many thanks in advance...

Here are the only ones that are needed by windows -

It might be easier to just copy these fonts from another machine.

Other wise an inplace upgrade is what you need - see

You could try System Restore too.

Monitored File Extensions.

The following is a list of monitored file extensions. Files with these extensions are monitored by System Restore.
