Strange font problem

[Anne]

In tools options one can set the default font for Datasheet View.
I am using Access 2003 for one of my own databases. I have a subform which
lists the data in datasheet view. All of a sutton, the fonts for that form
turned into some very wide type font, where I cannot even read the data. So
I had to recreate the form, and it works.

I just downloaded a file from a client, which still uses access 2002. Now
even the queries show the data in that same wide font and it makes it
impossible to work like that. When I went to Tool, options, datasheet (which
is the only place to change a font) there is no font available.

What am I missing here?

It may be caused by having too many fonts in your fonts folder.
Try deleting ones you don't use. More info/ideas in
