All my fonts have disappeared

I think I’ve finally found the reason why all my dialog boxes and default fonts on my laptop have started to look strange – I have 8 fonts left on my computer.

I thought it a little wierd when I went into PowerPoint today and I only had a very small choice of fonts. Then when opening up the source files for some posters I had done I was informed the fonts were missing by a different application. I checked the system folder which contains fonts and it looked fine. But when I tried to copy them to my desktop I got an error and all but 8 of them disappeared. Weird.

To be honest, I never thought I would really use the backups I made of my font files. OCD for the win.
