 |

https://styopkin.com/articles/fonts_installed_winxp.html
The above page has a list of fonts typically installed on XP. I had to have a new hard drive installed and I have noticed a difference in the fonts I now have. Instead of the correct letters, I have blocks for these fonts: estrangelo edessa, gautami, latha, mangal, mv boli, raavi, shruti and tunga. On the Uninstall link from the Home Page, this information is given:

Reinstall the Standard Fonts Included with Windows XP
The following fonts are included with Windows XP and are installed on every computer:
Courier New (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)
Arial (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)
Times New Roman (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)
Symbol (TrueType)
Wingdings (TrueType)
MS Serif
MS Sans Serif
If any of the standard fonts that are included with Windows XP are missing, you can run Windows XP Setup again. Setup replaces missing or changed files. If these standard fonts are missing, other Windows XP files may also be missing, and Setup corrects these problems. |
Is this what I should do to hopefully recover the above mentioned fonts that will not display? I do not know how to run Windows XP Setup, as I have never had to install it myself. Please explain the procedure if this is what I need to do to hopefully get these fonts where I can use them.
Thanks!

It is national fonts.
For example
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FID=265&FNAME=Tunga&FVER=1.07
Tunga is an OpenType font for the Indic script - Kannada. It is based on Unicode, contains TrueType outlines and has been designed for use as a UI font.
