Hello;

I can tell you that the red X in the box is indicative of an image, not a
font.  I believe this was a common problem with folks a while back if I am
not mistaking.  I also recall one of the manners by which to fix it was to
go to:

11 Q283807 - Web Page Displays an Image As a Red X or Not at All <--- This
is an article in the Knowledge Base at Microsoft.com

I hope this helps you.

Part of your answer lies in the settings screen to which you refer.  Those
settings are default font settings if none are specified by the site you are
visiting.  It would appear that a font is being specified that your computer
does not recognize.  Either that, or this has nothing to do with the fonts,
but is another problem.

Perhaps you could go to your Windows install disk and see if there are
additional fonts to install?
