    Left4Dead, , , .
    There has been reports of when removing an illegitimate installation of Left 4 Dead (i.e. pirated) the registry containing information of certain fonts gets corrupted/deleted.

    The fonts affected are the following:
    Tahoma
    Courier New
    Verdana
    Arial
    Arial Narrow
    Arial Bold
    Lucida Console
    Trebuched MS
    Times New Roman
    Marlett

    (note: this list may or may not be entirely complete)

    The reason your fonts get bold/italic is that your normal versions of these fonts has been corrupted in (well, deleted from) the registry and Windows automatically falls back to the closest in the same family, if any, and therefore your text goes bold or italic - since these weren't effected.

    To fix this, you will have to either restore your Windows to a prior state before uninstalling Left 4 Dead, or manually restore your register.

    To restore your register you can do the following:
    Note: editing the registry is highly risky and may lead to a corrupt/non-functional system. Do this at your own risk.

    1. Click "Start" and then "Run"
    2. Type regedit.exe and press Run/OK
    3. First of all, backup your current registry by going to File -> Export and save it to a safe place, preferably an external thumb drive or something accessible.
    4. Navigate through the folder tree to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    5. Here, you'll need to add a string variable for each font in the list above with the correct font-file in your C:\Windows\Fonts folder. If the variable already exists, check that the filename is correct. An example is the following (in string name -> value):

    Tahoma (TrueType) -> tahoma.ttf
    Courier New (TrueType) -> cour.ttf
    Verdana (TrueType) -> verdana.ttf
    Arial (TrueType) -> arial.ttf
    Arial Narrow (TrueType) -> arialn.ttf
    Arial Bold (TrueType) -> arialbd.ttf
    Lucida Console (TrueType) -> lucon.ttf
    Trebuched MS (TrueType) -> trebuc.ttf
    Times New Roman (TrueType) -> times.ttf
    Marlett (TrueType) -> marlett.ttf

    6. Exit the register editor and reboot your computer to be sure that the changes has been made. You should now have your n
    regedit run , .
