Is it just on DU, or is it every site you go to? Is it happening just with your browser, or on other software on your computer?
I did some Googling and it seems other people have had this problem (in general, not on DU). It may have something to do with one of your default fonts going missing, or some kind of registry error occurring when you were uninstalling software.
If one of your default fonts has somehow been removed, your computer will try to replace it with the nearest match, which in this case may be the italicized version of the missing font.
If you are using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click your start button and type the word "fonts" in the search box, and press enter. A list of your installed fonts will appear. Scroll down to Verdana and double-click on it. The list of Verdana fonts will be displayed. See if "Verdana Regular" is listed -- if not, then let me know.
You might also want to try this with the Arial font and see if "Arial Regular" is listed.
If both of those fonts exist on your system, then the problem lies elsewhere. Let me know what you find out.
