    When I open Windows Media Player 7, all of the fonts on the left side look like little small vertical rectangles or squares.
    Anybody know how I can fix this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Player. I also purchased 'Font Agent' to repair any bad fonts, but it didn't change anything.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Reloading Tahoma didn't fix the problem. Any other ideas appreciated.

    Hiya

    The "Microsoft Sans Serif" font ( "sserife.fon" on Win9x, "micross.ttf" on NT, in the hidden "%windir%\fonts" directory) has become corrupted on your system. You'll need to reload or restore this font. [Also: Don't remove the Tahoma font. This is used by WMP for the Status Bar text.]

    Regards
