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
