Live Messenger font problem - very strange by demikid8 on 06-20-2009 at 07:34 AM

Hallo all,

Im having this very weird problem on my Live Messenger with Messenger Plus!. Well Im now posting this forum on my new computer. Before when I was using my old computer and uses Live MSGR, the font in the chatting windows are not what I wanted. EG if I set font to Bradley Hand ITC then for me the font looks more like Times New Roman. When I change it to any other font it is the same result. I asked my friends on MSN what my font is and they say its just more Arial like, no matter what font I choose to use.

Now just yesterday I installed my new computer. Note the old and new computer are all Windows XP Pro SP2. And the first time I use MSN everything seemed very fine but the upcoming times when I use MSN the font does exactly what it did to my old computer!

Now this seems very strange and I dont know what is causing this problem. So for professionals who can kindly help me to work out and solve this problem, it will be much greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Your contacts will only see the font you're using if it's installed on their machine.

I also recommend you check the font is correctly installed on your machine(s) too. if it is, it'll show in Word(Pad) and others.
