Hi everyone,
I haven't been to this forum in some time; it's nice to see that it's still around
As the title of the thread suggests, I'm having trouble with Times New Roman in Word. I've only tried a few other fonts, but they all seemed okay. I don't have any other software with a variety of fonts to test, but everything looks fine online.
The font looks horrible, to the point of being almost illegible. There are gaps/missing portions in letters, it requires heavy zooming just to tell the difference between a "c" and an "e" and good luck trying to see the small horizontal line in a capital "A". I'm a writer and this is killing me.
I'm running Vista Home Premium (yes, I'm poor and can't afford a new PC). The only thing I've installed recently was a VSTi (virtual MIDI instrument) called CV Piano, which was a strange install (it wanted to install a driver, but it didn't say for what, so I didn't let it), but should have been a safe install/uninstall given the reviews and manufacturer. Kaspersky Pure 3.0 detected nothing. I ran hijackthis and put the logfile through hijackthis.de. Nothing popped up. I did a System Restore, but - oddly enough - the oldest Restore Point on my PC was immediately after installation of CV Piano. I've been thinking that I've been noticing overall sluggishness of my computer, but that's probably just paranoia as a result of a different important thing going wrong.
Sorry if I went on too long. I figured it would be better to share too much information rather than too little in case there was something pertinent.
I have no idea what could be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This issue's driving me crazy...
Thanks!
