I everyone I am a newbie to the forums. I was installing some new font packages the other day for photoshop and all of a sudden the font within some of my programs is now unreadable (looks like Tekton Pro, but very hard to read). I googled how to change font in windows 8 and was only able to change:
CaptionFont
IconFont
MenuFont
MessageFont
StatusFont

I changed all of these, but it did not change the font that is not readable! I have noticed that when I log into Facebook, the search bar font is also unreadable...

Does anyone know how to fix this?!

It looks like the font may be arial bold, and should be just arial. THe bold really makes things look fuzzy on the screen...

I fixed it, but it was not easy. The problem happened when I installed some new helvetica fonts. Windows 8 would not let me delete the font because it said it was "in use". Long story short I had to delete the font through command prompt and restart. This forced Windows to default back to its original font.
