exception error when opening a .net windows application

Hello,

I've recently installed .Net 2003 Enterprise Developer. Prerequisites were
also installed, including .Net framework 1.1. But when I open the IDE and try
to create a new VB.Net windows application, I get a bizarre runtime expeption
below:

"The following exception has occurred:
Font 'Microsoft Sans Serif' doesn't support style 'Regular' "

after I click "ok", a giant red X appears in the IDE where the windows form
is supposed to show.

is there a setting in a configuration file that needs to be changed?

thanks for any help.

Perhaps your San Serif ttf file has been corrupted. What happens if you
change the font for the form to something else?

It was indeed a corrupted ttf file. i was not able to load a form. but, after
installing Ms-Office, its fine now. Thanks !
