Script & color not showing in chat window

I just recently installed Windows Live Messenger 8.0 and while I am typing my
message I can see my script and the color, but as soon as I enter it into the
chat window - it appears as Arial black (not what I chose). And no matter the
person I am chatting with - their script style and color does not show in my
chat window either. All my friends can see my script and color - but I can't
see it on my computer. ANY IDEAS??

let me know...you have to know how annoying it is...so email me at

thanx a million
