  • Looks like uninstalling KB3013455 fixed Courier so hoping the same for Arial... Happy hunting...Wow...who would think that a malicious web page could whack your fonts..... Makes you want a MAC...

  • It won't whack your fonts: now that you have KB3013455 uninstalled, it might take control of your computer. Except that if few enough users are affected, maybe no cracker out there will bother writing an exploit. Hopefully.

  • My system rebooted itself at 3:20 am and reinstalled KB3013455 and whacked my fonts again...so I had to un-install it yet again. Windows is not letting me block the KB3013455. AAAhhhh....Maybe Microsoft should consider fixing this bug before issuing the update... Seems like it should be whacking EVERYONE's Courier New and Arial.... (BTW: the FREE "Dark Courier.TTF" has a shorter line height than vanilla Courier New, so it does not play well with my VB6 lists that are looking for 34 visible rows and getting 37...) so not very good for a direct replacement unfortunately

  • I am on Vista Home Premium SP2. I was assuming that McAfee was managing the updates (and not Windows Update)...
