Somehow I lost the default font for my computer. I understand it may be the Tahoma font but I have no idea how to restore it. Can you help me.

Thank you,

Pull out the windows disk and copy the fonts file back.
Or, do a windows repair from the original cd
Or, copy the fonts from another system, if you know the fonts that you are looking for you can put them on a floppy disk, or else I would suggest a cd
