For those having issues with wrong fonts/font errors/browser errors after uninstalling EVGA PrecisionX 16. Risking redundancy, I know this issue has been addressed in a few other threads that people are either failing to find, or search for, or are having a problem finding the proper font file so I'm making it available, again. When installing EVGA PrecisionX 16, the original Windows\Fonts\Arial Bold (arialbd.ttf) font file is replaced with a shortcut to EVGA PrecisionX 16's own font file of Arial Bold called arialbd_B located in Program Files (x86)\EVGA\Precision x16\Fonts..After uninstalling EVGA PrecisionX 16, the shortcut to Precision x16's arialbd_B font file, as well as the arialbd_B font file itself, is also uninstalled leaving Windows without an Arial Bold font file which causes issues..The Arial Bold (arialbd.ttf) font file must be reinstalled into the Windows\Fonts\Arial file again. You can fix this by downloading the original Windows Arial Bold (arialbd.ttf) font file I have made available here on Microsoft OneDrive, then open the Windows\Fonts\Arial file and put the Arial Bold (arialbd.ttf) font file into it where it will auto-install itself..Done. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for pointing that out. I noticed that my fonts have changed but didn't understand why.

Thanks bob. I do know EVGA is aware of the issue, and they are working on a solution for this.

Another example of mainland Chinese QC/QA practices ... and I'm old enough to remember the same comments about Japanese QC/QA practices after WW II as Japan was rebuilding its bombed out heavy industry. My point is that all too many of us drive Camry's now-a-days proving that the Japanese learned about QC/QA practices and so will the mainland Chinese if they want to retain the business contracts they acquired by under-bidding (by deliberately low-balling bid prices) their competition.

Thank you for the fix Bob - you really came through! Much obliged. And as for you EVGA - 5.2.0 is a bloated piece of trash! What right did you have meddling in my system files to begin with? Sack whoever was responsible for that garbage. I'm back to 4.2.1, and not upgrading for the foreseeable future.

No problem, all..Glad to help..I put up the old Precision v4.2.1 and RTSS v6.2.0 (which don't have the MSI Afterburner exclusivity lock for OSD support in 64-bit games using Precision v4.2.1) for download too incase anybody ever needs/wants them all in one place.

Thanks as well. I installed 5.2.2 but still had to put it back from 5.2.0 I guess. Hopefully it won't disappear with 5.2.2 and onward.

Thank you! Been wondering why the hell I had a fat font all over the place in Chrome. I was really here to post about the new EVGA x16 hogging almost a gigabyte of ram. Needless to say I wont even use X 16 anymore.

Holy Hannah, whose idea was it to remove and replace such a commonly used system font? Glad it has been rectified.
