Classic British Flight Sim

Hi John

I've had this happen in the past on IE. Sometimes it was intermittant i.e. one time I would get italics the next time not. Unfortunately, I never managed to fathom out what was causing it so I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Have you tried clearing Temporary Internet Files and running a Registry cleaner (I recommend CCleaner - make a registry backup when CCleaner asks)?
Also, in Firefox check that in TOOLS > OPTIONS > CONTENT > ADVANCED (in the 'Fonts & Colors' box, not The 'Advanced' at the top left of the Options window) 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above' is checked.

Regards

Kevin

Can you check your clear type settings (if you're using XP or Vista) Can you check in IE? This can also happen when your ISP pushes you through a proxy which caches the pages (but this would happen for most sites that you visit regularly)

I'm afraid I don't have IE installed - I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole to be honest. I'm on Win7 Home64.

Anyway, I found out which console I accidentally opened - it's the java console.

I spent quite some time fiddling with it earlier, a lot of the typeface settings were on "italics". I tried to do some adjusting, but as I've never used it before, I don't know if what I changed was saved for this forum, or if it makes a difference in any case. I did take a few screenshots, but I doubt they would be of help unless anyone knows their way around Java?

Looks like I'm stuck with it for now - though I will do some looking around on the net to see if I come up with anything.

Thanks for trying to help, anyway

If all else fails, I'll just use my netbook for this forum.

It could be the Java version? Java is a hackers dream so its no longer on this machine, but its probably worth uninstalling your java version rebooting and then reinstalling the latest and greatest from Oracles website www.java.com

Fixed it

Seemed to be a corrupt font, downloaded a font pack from M$ here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=16083, installed & all appears to be OK now.

Thanks, Dave - you are THE bizznuss!

Yup - that font update sorted it straight away - no mess tins!

Glad you're sorted John

Cheers guys!
