HELP! Opera browser screwed up my fonts

This is a discussion about HELP! Opera browser screwed up my fonts in the Windows Software category; I have been running IE6 without a glitch since it was released. For something different, it tried the latest version of Opera browser. For unimportant reasons (okay, it's slow & I hated it), I uninstalled Opera.

I have been running IE6 without a glitch since it was released. For something different, it tried the latest version of Opera browser. For unimportant reasons (okay, it's slow & I hated it), I uninstalled Opera. Now all my fonts are screwed when I view the pages with IE6. The fonts are tiny & barely legible.
 
Some internet shortcuts that I had pasted on my desktop would not work until I set IE6 to "Check to see if it is the default browser", now they work. But this font problem is driving me crazy. I even went into the registry & deleted the Opera folder, but it didn't help.
 
If I go to Tools > Internet Options > General > Fonts > The fonts are listed as:
 
Language Script > Latin Based
Webpage Font > Times New Roman
Plain Text Font > Courier New
 
Suggestions?
