  1. How to get a new font to work?


    I recently installed a new font called Lombok Typeface. When using it with any program, it shows up on the fonts list, but the actual font comes out as comic sans or something similar to it. When I go to the font preview where it says "the quick brown fox" the lettering is also in comic sans. Now here's the interesting part. When I press start and use the font search, it shows up just fine. How can I get the typeface to show up correctly,and not in the default comic sans?

    :)

  2. Times new roman bold font

    To further isolate the concern, we suggest that you restore default settings and check if it helps. See steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + X, and then click on Control
      Panel.
    • Change the View by to large/small
      icons, and then click on Fonts.
    • On the left pane, click on Font settings.
    • Under Font settings, click on Restore default font settings.

    If restoring the default font settings does not bring back the Times New Roman Regular font, we suggest that if you have another computer with Windows 10, you can copy the Times New Roman Regular font into your PC's Font folder.

    Font kind of blurry

    I just built a new gaming rig and am using an XFX 6950 and an ASUS 23.6" monitor. On some pages, I notice some fonts are a bit blurry and strain my eyes. Any idea how I can fix this? I am using windows 7, so please make the steps work for that. Thanks.
