Screen Font?

[Grandpappy]

My screen font seems to have disappeared and I just have the 'default' boot font , which looks faint and spidery?
I used to have a nice solid looking font which was easy to read from any angle on the screen.
Can I install and setup ANY font that's on the computer and if so HOW??
Any instructions on what I need to do,please??
Cheers

Firstly, you might find this neat little program useful:
http://download.cnet.com/Free-Easy-Font-Viewer /3000-2316_4-10070090.html
It allows you to quickly see what every font on your PC actually looks like.

To change your desktop fonts, right-click on the desktop. Select Properties and then Appearance. Use the drop down menu to find those items which use text. (e.g. 'Active title bar' or 'Icon'). For each of them select your preferred font and size. (You can have different fonts & sizes for different items). Then click 'Apply' and 'OK'.

if it is - change to windows classic - let the change take effect - reboot then change back to XP style

if still no joy

right click desktop
