How can I restore the original Windows 7 fonts from its DVD?
I replaced the original Windows 7 fonts with some bad fonts!
How can I acquire the original Windows 7 fonts from its DVD and extract them? I looked on the DVD but couldn't find any folders named fonts
.
If you extract the Sources\install.wim
file, you can open it with 7-zip (available on Ninite for quick installing).
Then go to \1\Windows\Fonts
and extract.
Install.Wim
contains every edition of Windows (Home, Ultimate e.t.c.), Each number refers to a different installation.
That being said, the fonts from all editions are the same, so it doesn't matter what folder you use.
I would recommend you go to safemode, and simply extract to a temporary folder, then overwrite all the fonts in c:\windows\fonts
with these... or manually click on every one and do install.
