Publisher 2007 Garamond font is not displaying correctly

[John D.]

A simple document in Pub 2007 is giving me fits. Using Garamond for my
heading and certain letters (r, l, y for example) are not displaying
correctly. this happens on occasion with other fonts as well. is there some
global setting that i am missing?

The character spacing is not uniform when you print a document that uses the
Garamond font in Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

Thanks, but it's not the spacing it's the characters themselves...certain
letters are not displaying correctly - they do not look like the Garamond
version of themselves. And the problem is NOT when printing, it's when
creating the document! hellllllllllllllp!

Does this happen at all zoom levels?

Are you running the latest version of your display driver?

 

[John D.]

Thanks, Ed.

yes...at all zoom levels and yes...updated display driver.
it is really weird and really frustrating. i have the same header in a text
box in a different .pub document where it displays perfectly; if i copy the
text box and paste it into this document, i get the funky effect - some
letters are not in the Garamond font and they are "off" (either oddly spaced
or below/above the other letters or both)

bizarre.

What happens when you DON'T copy/paste Garamond from another publication?

what is font embedding?

An accident waiting to happen, normally.

It's a feature found in Publisher where it will store a copy of all
embeddable fonts used in the publication in the .pub file, so that if
you should take it to another machine, it doesn't look different if
fonts aren't available. Normally it causes more trouble than it's worth.

thanks Ed, I'm just a little bit smarter now!
