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.

Welcome to the forums..Yes, not cool, had that issue too, see post #66 here..I just keep a copy of arialbd_B now and drop it back into the Windows\Fonts folder when/if I uninstall PX and it's all back to normal again.

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.

Also confirming this is an ugly bug.

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

Thanks for that fix.

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?

This bug popped up even after uninstalling PX16. What a pile of hot garbage..
