Ask someone to send you their C:/Program FIles/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/DATA/FONTS/fonts.ini and rich_fonts.ini
If you open those two files, it'll look like gobbledegook (It's in compressed INI format). Replacing those two files with files from someone elses working install should fix the issue.
I've had this problem. You probably reinstalled your operating system and restored Freelancer from backup? Now your operating system is missing a few font files.
The font files are on your Freelancer CD, in the FONTS folder. Should be three of them. Copy them to C:\Windows\Fonts and reboot. Should fix it.

Yea, just have someone post the files then - they're a few KB in size anyway. If noone has done so, shove me a PM and I'll get em to you.
