The “Microsoft Sans Serif” font (“sserife.fon” on Win9x, “micross.ttf” on NT, in the hidden “%windir%\fonts” directory) has become corrupted on your system. You’ll need to reload or restore this font. [Also: Don’t remove the Tahoma font. This is used by WMP for the Status Bar text.] If you’re still having font problems, the easiest way to diagnose which font is broken is, sadly, right-clicking on the Desktop, selecting Properties, and then selecting Appearance. On Windows XP you will need to click “Advanced” also. Then, click on the “Message Text” picture in the picture. Then change the “Font” option to be each of your fonts, one by one, until you see which font is corrupted.
