Fonts won't install and missing

Just spent a whole day banging my head against a brick wall.

Application (Access 2) merging to Word. Client says font for one particular
thing has gone.

I realized that it was never there, but Word was substituting in one close
enough that we didn't notice in testing. Now even that has gone (Edwardian
ITC). First of all any idea why standard Office fonts disappear. All that
has happened on their system is that SP4 of Win2K has been installed and new
users created. Anybody know how to _just_ install the office fonts.

The other thing is, I try to install the required font. On some machines it
complains that 'xxx.ttf is in use, wait till windows has finished' etc. I
can't figure it out. Then I realise that isn't the problem. It's actually
that I don't have permissions on the directory. Or so I think. But on
another machine where I do have permissions c:\...\fonts is marked read
only. I can apparently make that readable, and the font seems to install,
even prints, but on the next boot up it's gone.

What a pain.

TIA, Mike

I hope this is the right news group to ask but if not I'm sure someone will correct me. I have a .NET application that uses 3 different 3 of 9 TrueType fonts. If I have a newly installed OS (2000 or XP) and print the document containing a barcode, the barcode is printed with the wrong font. We had a machine that did print correctly and so we started experimenting to see what produced the correct rendering when printed. It turns out that...

Sorry if this is a dumb question - bit of a newbie to Access: Just getting to grips with OfficeXP Developer, the intention being to be able to deploy a simple Access application to various people. Works great, even got the references installed on the destination machine ok. But, we (our company) have designed all the front-end forms using our "corporate font", Frutiger.

Hi all Have a customer that wants a specific font included in her web page design; Comic Sans MS. This is one of the MS core fonts. The problem I have is that some of the *nix browsers do NOT include these fonts by default. http://www.diamondvet.com/test renders those fonts correctly using an XP box. After I installed those fonts on my machine, firefox and mozilla both rendered them correctly. So here is the question:

Two days ago, MS office Word would type JP fonts, I thought. I didn't think I was using Works. Now, it won't type in JP. Jasc Paint shop pro 8, should type JP fonts because I am using XP, according to Corel's website, and Jasc uses whatever is in the XP font folder. But, it won't. All the JP fonts types as English, even with JP selected in the Language Bar. I can't afford to upgrade to any better paint program. I do have a free JP word...

I am going write an application in C++ that allows the user to see two languages at once, and allows them to search each individual language for words or keywords.

I could also control how the search works simply by reading the font tags, for each language, so I only get results in that specific...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
