So nobody has any good ideas about how i could possibly fix this? as far as i can tell it has something to do with a Font style but i dont know how to correct it back to Regular...

This one is like the same error with the Tahoma font that comes up, its usually either the font ('Arial Unicode MS' ) is corrupted and needs to be replaced or isn't installed (most often due to the "English (US)" Language pack not being installed)
