Some how I am missing this font which means some web pages I cannot read if they use this
font. I have looked on the Win98SE CD, but cannot find them to reinstall.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Both MS Sans Serif fonts are in WIN98_47.cab
(sseriff.fon and sserife.fon)
There is one for the Small Font setting and one for the Large Font
setting.

Have you looked in Control Panel-Fonts to verify you have one of these
installed?

What web pages expect you to have one of these fonts?

I can see these fonts in Windows > Fonts

but it seems they are corrupt because in Photoshop they show all pixelated.

Many websites now use them and so I cannot read them

Many websites now use them and so the first font in my font folder appears instead, which
means if the first font in my folder is a script font, I cannot read the text.

http://www.wikipedia.org/ is one website that uses MS Sans serif as an example
