Could it be that - when my friend installed his Adobe software - he has a
printing company that is virtually  all Adobe products - perhaps he
installed some default fonts for his software that inadvertently
removed/altered the default IE 6 fonts, etc.?



What can I do to check this?  According to my defaults, etc., on all of MY
other computers that work - I have:

in "IE6\Tools\Internet Options\General\Fonts"

    Language script: Latin based

    Web page font: Times New Roman

    Plain text font: Courier New



Also,

in "IE6\Tools\Internet Options\Accessibility" everything is unchecked;



Also, in "IE6\Tools\Internet Options\Security\Custom Level." I have "Font
Download - Enable" checked.



I need to check those fonts, etc. on my friends computer, but what if
they're the same?  Are could it be something else?  (even the motherboard?)
