My preference font is set at Comic MS sans, but most webpages still come up with all hot coffee font displayed. Hot coffee has hijacked my arial font, even though I've deleted all hot coffee fonts from my computer. Its like its attached itself to it. It appears in Word & Excel too. ANy other advice?
