Win 7 Machine font is odd

[Frog]

and I can't find the place in Control Panel/Personalization to check it and change it. It doesn't seem to want to give me any option though everything I read says that's where it happens.
In the attached screen shot you can see that it's even adding crossed-out "W"s". What's up with that?

What program? corel? where did it say look in personalization?

shane

If I'm understanding the problem correctly..?

1) Check here ( see attached pic )
2) Check if you've accidentally deleted this font: Sergoe UI ( default font )

I'm just trying to change the Win 7 display fonts. I don't think that it is limited to CorelDRAW or any other specific application.
The tip to look in Personalization was an answer to "how do I change my Win 7 display font"?

I am posting this anyway, but I see that a new reply from Chadwick may be onto something.

[Frog]

So, where the heck is this Color and appearance? That's what I was looking for!

Okay, found the color thing, but am still looking as to where it lists my font and choices

[Chadwick]

Long way: Control Panel / Appearance and Personalization / Personalization / Window color Appearance

Inside window below color mixer
Advanced appearance settings in blue text

[Frog]

Well, this is crazy. I get to this window, but it won't let me expand it or navigate in it.

[Chadwick]

Yikes.
That's where you want to be, but that window should show alot more..

What were you up to when all this started?

Actually, this particular machine is used sparingly but I think that it's been this way for a while. It's the one in my reception area, and since I mostly work online, I don't use this one for much art. Obviously, today I noticed it big time working in Corel!
Perhaps the windows disk can fix it.

Chadwick was right when he asked if that Segoe UI font was missing. It was!
I have since copied it from my main machine, installed it, and now the entire window displays. I have to go out now but am almost sure that I am now on track to solve this.
I'll know in an an hour or so when I return.
Thanks all!

Heck, I couldn't wait, I just checked the Corel menu and Voila! Installing the correct system font was all it took.

[Chadwick]

Glad that fixed it.
The lesson here, if there is one, is don't mess with the system's fonts.
lol.
