Really weird font error?
I've been trying to work this one out for a week. Whenever I double click on a font (*.ttf or *.fon) I receive this error message (click link for image) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/bigstep70/fonterrormessage.jpg ... also many of the little 'arrows' in context/dropdown menus have changed to a mini-mouse symbol. This happens with every font in the fonts folder. I've tried multitudes of font management programs and siphon'd thru page after page of forums and help sites but can find no sure match/cure for this problem. [[[Things ive already done... and the result]]] tried to extract/restore the fonts from my xp cd... no go tried font management/repair utilities... nadda registry cleans (manual and software)... nope font folder cleanout (down to xp core fonts)... no such luck What am i missing if anything... short of formatting and reinstalling there doesn't seen to be much else I can think of that will fix this. Any suggestions/input would be great people.. Thanks Mowgli... gave it a try and "POOF" ... it worked... now to find out what changed the assocciation in the first place.

- In My Computer, use Tools > Folder Options to view your File Types for TTF & FON. Use the Advanced button to Edit the "open" action and see what you have for "Application used to perform action". On my system, for example, the path is: C:\WINDOWS\System32\fontview.exe %1
