Missing Fonts

Over the weekend I ran into an odd problem. All of the sudden the text on most of the web pages became italicized.

This happened after I rebooted my PC so I thought it was some setting issue. I checked everywhere but could not find the solution. I even googled “all text is italicized” and other similar searches and could not find the solution.

Missing FontsI gave up on looking for that time and went on to work on one of my sites. Thats where I stumbled upon the cause of the issue. The page I was working on had the default font set to Times New Roman and everything looked fine. Once I changed the font to Arial everything became italicized. Turns out the Arial font got deleted from my system. How that happened, I am not sure, but since Arial Italic font was still on my system, it was being displayed instead of Arial.

I found a free download for Arial font online and installed on my system. Now everything is fine.
