The problem is you did not back up the fonts directory on your computer. Here is what you need to do. Go to my computer, and then open your C:/ drive and locate the Windows directory. Then find the "Fonts"
directory and open it. Then select all of the fonts and COPY them to a folder/flash drive somewhere.

MAKE SURE IT IS A COPY AND NOT A MOVE!!

Then you find that folder on your new computer, and drag the files to it. It will pop up a message if the font already exist. No worries just click okay. What you are doing is adding the fonts that don't exist.

Note: Sometimes when you backup fonts weird things happen to your title bar and start bar etc. Don't worry after everything is backed up it will go away on your next restart.
