    ......Looks standard? Right click on your desktop, click personalize, then Window Color and Appearance, then "Open classic appearance properties for more color options, then click "Advanced..." Find the item's font you want to change in the drop down menu, then find the font you want, and cilck apply.

    And while you are there in the "open classic......", you might want to check the "effects" as well... and may be enable 'cleartype' if you haven't done so already.

    thanks for the replies so far guys
    i've looked in those menus and nothing seemed to have changed from before...
    i installed and uninstalled warmonger (game) and .NET framework 1.1 recently, could it be anything to with them??

    the font has definitely changed (it looks bolder and bigger), because i remember the font used to look like below [​IMG]

    Have you tried resetting your theme? (ex. change it to classic then back to default)
