Italicized display

Solved

Hello,
my problem may seem dumb...
I have a small display issue. Everything is in italics: web pages, programs, messages, desktop... Yet I haven't changed anything. I was using a typography viewing software, I closed it, and a few minutes later, all the display switched to italics. How can I get the display back to "normal"?
Thank you for your responses,
karo

    Well, nothing in the Microsoft knowledge base
    However, the phenomenon is starting to spread,
    I just found messages on other forums

    For me, it's fixed! :-)
    One hit of Ad-Aware, a hit of SpyBot and it's back to normal

    So it would seem to be caused by spyware

    Voila Voila
    Best regards

    Good evening. I don’t know if you’ve solved the problem; me too, but simply on Firefox, not the messenger but some sites... I ran Spybot, Adaware, HijackThis, antivirus, nothing new. Sometimes the PC slows down or goes haywire, as does the mouse... I’m worried. Who has the answer?
    Happy New Year to everyone

      I went to Internet Options settings and I restored the font, and
      IT WORKS...

    Hello,

    I have the same issue and here's how I solved it:
    - Right-click on the desktop, Properties (Graphics options screen)
    - Go to the "Appearance" tab
    - Change the "Font size" (Large for example), then click APPLY
    - Reset the "Font size" to "Normal" and click APPLY.

    It worked for me, I can't guarantee it will work in every case.

    Hi,

    does the problem persist if you restart your PC?

    Hi, I’ve had the same issue since September 21, on Windows XP SP2.
    Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox both display all web pages in italics. Where could this come from?
    Thanks

    For my part, I solved this display error in italics by “restoring the system” a week ago, i.e., one day before this problem. Since the restoration, italics have not reappeared. This thing happened after a Windows Update, I suppose it was a bug.
    As for knowing why...

    Hello,
    Strangely my problem was solved by restarting my computer... I admit I don’t understand.

    Yet another of the dark mysteries of computing! :-)

    I’ve tried looking through all the options, menus, etc., and I can’t find anything!
    but I also did a Windows update a few days ago

    I’m going to take a look in the Microsoft knowledge base; there might be something

    In any case, thanks for your answers
    Kind regards
    Dollie
