Found a pretty ugly bug. When PX is installed it replaces the existing Arial Bold font in the font directory. However it only places a link to it (that resides in the EVGA PX folder) which doesn't work. This results in web pages showing Arial Black when Arial Bold is called in CSS. Since Arial Bold is used a lot across the internet, this changes things drastically. Uninstalling PX completely removes Arial Bold from both the EVGA PX folder, and the Windows Font folder. That isn't very cool. In order to fix this I had to reinstall PX, go into that folder and copy/paste Arial Bold into another folder. Uninstall PX again. Restart. Reinstall Arial Bold. Until this is fixed I cannot install PX on my system. I'm a web developer first and a gamer second. This bug made all websites that I've created look wrong, and pretty much every other site out there, like Google News. While installed I tried to fix the issue but it always reverts back to a broken link from my font folder to EVGA PX folder. Uninstalling (and the fix above) was the only pure fix. Thanks guys.

Same problem here. Had to reinstall default arial fonts to fix the problem. Pretty egregious oversight if you ask me. Overall I've been very underwhelmed with this newest iteration of Precision X, seems like a step backwards to me.

Looks like this is being created by the Windows installer, we are working on it.

Heres another fix that doesn't require any removal of fonts for google chrome. I fought for 3 days reinstalling programs and disabling fonts trying to figure out what the heck was going on, and just happened to stumble on to this guys youtube page and saw a few other comments saying Precision X 16 was to blame, and then the lightbulb went off, I noticed it happened right after I installed that. XD
Edit: crud they don't allow links?

I have to wonder what (if any) testing was done on this software. I installed the product and noticed this bug within 5 seconds of opening my browser. Uninstalled back to 4.2 for me. Edit.. Major issue now. My mouse slips off screen with dual monitors in EVERY game even after uninstalling. This was the only change I made to my pc and it never happened in the past...

Yeah 5.2.3 only worsened the issue after I had already fixed it by replacing their junk with the correct Arial Bold. It brought their font right back and made me have to fix it again, this time it isn't taking in Chrome with the same font I used last time to fix it, and I'm not stupidly disabling Direct Write because of this software's issues. It's ridiculous that it was even suggested as a fix by some. "Let's disable features in one of the most popular browsers to get a system font to work correctly that was before." How in the world did this garbage get released? If something like this happened at my job for software development you'd have some serious issues explaining this one to keep your job. Who in their right mind modifies system fonts for something like this?

I (ab)use the system restore and backup, that can keep copies of files/folders. I do this for my windows folder and some others since I have HD space.
Before install (yesterday), 441 font files. After install 136. What the...
It didn't remove one font. it removed hundreds.

So this is what has been happening. Lame. I share the argument. At least it's not just my system which I did a complete reinstall initially thinking it was just me. Oops.

You don't have to change browser settings. You just need to copy the missing font(s) back into the Windows fonts folder.
