corrupt fonts

Ran across a box that didn't display the basic system fonte correctly anywhere... it was like Arial had disappeared. Then when adding fonts, the font folder immediately showed nothing (even though the font obviuously loaded).



I blitzed the entire fonts directory and reloaded it from a ghost image. No dice.



What worked was reloading all of the font related regkeys in HKLM\software\microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentControlSet\



FONT*

and

GXE_init



What a pain in my ass. This took way too long to resolve.
