iTunes 10.1 Missing Text

Hi All,

I have problems with missing text in iTunes since 10.0, but it's just gotten much worse since I installed 10.1. Prior to 10.1, text was missing next to the colored legend showing how much storage of different types was in use on a device (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod). I would just get the colored box without saying what that box referred to (e.g. Music, Video, etc...) or how much storage was actually in use.

Since installing 10.1, I now have pretty much no text anywhere on that page. On the 'Summary' tab for a device, the only text showing is the headings of each section (e.g. 'iPad', 'Version' and 'Options'. Even the names of the tabs up the top are gone, as is all the text about version, text on buttons, everything.

Also, the tabs at the top of the iTunes Store are gone. There's now just a 'Home' icon, and nothing else (no Music, Apps, Movies, Ping, etc.).

Also, the status window up the top shows the progress bar, but no text.

I assume this is probably something to do with Windows fonts, but it's dramatically changed since 10.1...Help!!!

Windows 7

My fix should also work for all variant of Vista as I'm using Vista and it worked.
It's a bit tedius but re-installing every font will fix a lot of problems with other programs also due to missing or corrupt fonts in Windows XP & Windows Vista.

The main thing is we know now it's not an iTunes problem 🙂

Hi, I am having exactly the same issues as described in this post.
I was so pleased when I came across your fix.
Unfortunately I am unable to fix it using the suggested remedy's
I have 4 x Segoe UI fonts - truetype, bold, italic & bold italic.
I've removed & re-installed above, also installed & re-installed all fonts. Checked registry settings used CC Cleaner, all to no avail.

It has only happened since installing Itunes 10.1, and in particular is only happening on one XP Pro PC. Only thing I haven't tried is the Chris Pirillo patch as this is for Vista and I wasn't sure if I should try it on XP. Any further suggestions?
Cheers
