Fonts not working after nVidia update

After updating to the latest nVidia drivers some of my fonts stopped working. When I try to access them from the windows fonts folder I get a “the requested file ___.otf was not a valid font file” error, and the affected fonts are not loading in other apps like flash.

The fix:
Ensure there is a “SessionImageSize” DWord in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management, with a decimal value of 20.

Steps:
1. Press WIndows Key+R, this will open up the run dialog
2. Type regedit and click ok, the registry editor pops up
3. On the left panel, navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
4. On the right panel, look for a “SessionImageSize“. If it exists, skip step 5 and go to Step 6.
5. Right click on any empty space on the right and select New->DWORD value. Name it “SessionImageSize
6. Double click on “SessionImageSize” to edit its value.
7. Enter 14 if the base is in Hex, 20 for binary.
8. Restart
