Beware IE7 Screws up vertical text controls in reports

J

I've found another problem in Access (I'm using XP) that appeared after
installing IE7.

If you have a vertical control (label or text) on a report with Arial font
it will print in what appears to be Times New Roman.

To reproduce:
Create a new report
On it place a label control and set its Caption property to "anything you
like"
Make sure the Font is set to Arial
Set Font Size to 20 to view easier
Now copy & paste the control
Set the copied control's Vertical property to Yes
Resize as necessary

Now Print

This is weird, the horizontal label prints as Arial but the vertical one
prints Times New Roman
I've just noticed that it doesn't have to be arial font, most other fonts
still print out as T N R
On machines that still have IE6 this behaviour doesn't occur.

This is scary
Any one any ideas on how to correct this problem or is it a bug?

Cheers
John
