well we need to restore the original set of win98 fonts ...
steps to do that ....

In the Export Registry File dialog box, type C:\FontKey in the File name box, and then click Save.
Delete. the key after saving..
You receive the following message:
Are you sure you want to delete this key?
Click Yes.
The Fonts registry subkey is removed.
exit the registry...

Step 2: Create a Temporary Fonts Folder
create a new folder in c:\windows nd name it NewFonts

Step 3: Extract the Original Windows Fonts to the Temporary Folder
Insert the Windows 98 CD
At the command prompt, type

Extract /a /e drive:\Win98\Win98_22.cab *.ttf /l C:\Windows\NewFonts

(where drive is the drive letter of your computer's CD-ROM), and then press ENTER.

The font files are extracted.
in the above command, l is a lowercase L.

now Type

Extract /a /e drive:\Win98\Win98_22.cab *.fon /l C:\Windows\NewFonts

again type
Extract /a /e drive:\Win98\Win98_22.cab Desktop.ini /l C:\Windows\NewFonts, and the press ENTER.

since u r using win98 ,and assuming ur default fonts hav not been over written(i dont think baraha does it ),try installing a theme manager like desktop architect (or use default windows one ) and then try setting the fonts back to the default setting.
