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

Hey guys, I know this thread is 3 years old now but I've never been able to resolve this problem. I ignored it for a while because I could tolerate not seeing the menu buttons in iTunes 10.1 but now it's become an issue since I have iOS7 on my iPhone and can't sync it unless I update iTunes to 11. I'd be willing to do this but in iTunes 11 this font problem is a million times worse and I can't even navigate my library. I'm running Win 7 64-bit. I've checked my fonts a billion times and Segoe UI are all there. I've tried deleting and uninstalling and none of it works. I tried the registry patch by Chris Pirillo and that didn't work. If I've understood all I've read, that leaves me with manually adjusting my font registry entries, I didn't really understand the process to do this so if anyone could offer any guidance, I would really appreciate it.

I had a same problem with my win7 64bit lenovo laptop. I am using itunes 12.5.1.21 version.

The best way to recover your itunes;

You have to find another win7 laptop, than copy all of the fonts apprx 430 mb. to your laptop.

Than select all fonts, right click and choose re-install .

its worked for me 😉
