Bizarre Font Error

D

Darren Hill

I'm using Word 2003
Currently, the Garamond Font is always being displayed (both on screen and
on print) as Italicised, regardless of whether that is set.
It happens in any document.

What is causing this?

Hi Darren

Perhaps the font is corrupt. Have you checked that it is still in the fonts
folder and you can open the garamond.ttf file to view the font? If it is
showing up in italics then the italic version must be OK. Probably best to
reinstall it - if the original is still in the fonts folder then you will
need to remove it first before reinstalling. I hope you sort it out.

Sorrry for replying late. For some reason, I've just received a bunch of
this newsgroup's messages today.
I've checked the font, and it seems to be okay. It works fine in Excel.
I tried to remove the font anyway, but Windows XP wouldn't let me. How do
I do it?

I think it might have been a corruption in either the normal.dot or my
file. Here's the process I went through and the problem seems to have gone
away - I'd like to know if I have genuinely fixed the problem or if it is
likely to just be hiding:

Removed all instances of garamond font from the file, and saved as rtf.
Shit down word.
Deleted the normal.dot file.
Opened and closed word again, to restore a clean normal.dot.
Opened the rtf version of my file, and saved it as a doc file.

After this the garamond font started working normally again.
