My Fonts are killing me

Help!!!

My laptop is very limited 266 with win98-2. Having partitioned it some time ago, I felt that 1 gig ish for C and the operating system would be adequate. It isn't. So, I started to move some of the odds into D:. All ok until I moved some fonts, now all seems to have become chaotic. Minute letters on the desktop, and menus, while the applications are ok. Any attempt to restore the fonts from the D drive are met with "delete existing ones first". They will not delete despite changing their attributes. I have renamed the Fonts folder and created another one. This didn't fool it either. It's fighting back at me.

When i tried to move the fonts to the bogus folder, some of them ended up in the recycle bin !!!??? They sort of restore, but don't get recognised.

Is there a simple control that determines the global change of windows fonts?

Now for instance, the Start button is ioOpo while the top menus are ok but bold. LR
