for reasons unknown my 'arial black' font started displaying in itailic. Lim guessing my fs9 font folder got corrupted somehow. if i can get a list of the standard fonts that come with fs9 ?thinking i will delete; C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9Fontsand drag and drop replacement fonts from C:WINDOWSFontsopen to better ideas..... or a zip from an uncorrupted source! really really don't want to have to re-install.

Actually, the fonts in your Windows Fonts folder should override anything in the FS9 Fonts folder.

A total long shot before you re-install anything....Make sure you're not running ClearType.I had some users report that ClearType (and some setting in it) messed up their fonts.Maybe you'll fluke out and that'll be it.Cheers,Bryan
