Win 3.x Font Problem

I am getting a strange font.  I see it:
       1.  in the "Location:" box for URLs in Netscape.
       2.  as text in boxes that hold graphics at all URL's.
       3.  in the drop down menu for Font sizes in WP 6.0a
       4.  as the names of the various Calendars (across the
           top) that exist in Calendar Creator Plus.

It appears that I have messed us a default font, of some
sort, for Windows.

I would appreciate your help.  Thanks....Gary J.

Your font file may be corrupted. open control panel, choose fonts icon, click on name of questionable font. If you can't see the preview of a font or size is listed as 0k, file is corrupt.  Remove the font from system by selecteing Remove FOnt from Disk option, and reinstall if you have origila diskettes.

Other things you can try:
in the [TrueType] section of SYSTEM.INI:

TTEnable=0|1 to turn off/on TT fonts
TTIfCollisions=0|1 to use t fonts if same found on system
TTOnly=0|1 use only TT fonts

Also, there is a [FontSubstitutes] section of SYSTEM.INI you can look at. Entries are of form:
 font-name1=font-name2 and each sez use font-name2 when font-name1 is called for.

This ought to give you a few hours of fontastic amusement!

Cymbolic...thanks, but I tried the solutions and they did not work.  It appears it is a native font that Win3.x is calling on.
Looks like large kidprint.  

Any other ideas.
