Why are posts always in italics?

it didn't do anything. It wasn't even on.

Oh, you should turn it on then.

Welp. Its on now. and its still italics. I've switched to Internet explorer because i accidentally downloaded something wrong and now chrome is infested with pop-up ads and full screen invisible ads. Ugh.

EDIT: I see you've done all that already, nevermind.

Hmm. Very strange indeed. What version of Windows are you running? I'm thinking there might be a fonts issue somewhere.

Reinstall all fonts that appear in this line: font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif;

By that I mean download a fresh copy of each of those fonts from the web, then go to your C:\Windows\Fonts folder and delete/uninstall all of those fonts, then reinstall them. Then restart your computer.

So much work. I'll do that as soon as i can and report back the results. Yes, very strange. It's only text in posts, and in the editor. Everything else is fine. Tis very weird.

I haven't been able to do what vexx32 mentioned in his last post, but i have discovered that it only affect the standard font. Verdana i think it is? Comic Sans and Times New Roman appear fine and not in Italics.

Might want to check that you have all the Verdana family installed. If by some weird happenstance all but the italic Verdana styles got deleted off your machine, the browser will be forced to use an italic style whenever the page calls for standard Verdana.
