Wrong font shows when open up file from another user

[DanieloNYC]

Hi,
Whenever I update a visio file, everything looks fine.
Then a specific colleague opens up the visio, everything looks fine,
and then they update the visio - just basic change the actual wording
of text area- and save the file. when i open up the visio on my
machine, the font does not appear correctly as it has been assigned to
a *different font* (ie, tahoma instead of arial).

what can be done about this? where is error? on there machine or
mine?

thanks,
- daniel

Think this problem lies on the other machine. Visio uses the Fonts intalled
in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. First thing to check is that the other user has the font
in their directory. If not find it on your machine and send it to them.
Visio might be substituting the "closest" font on the other computer.

[Visio & MS PGothic font conversion]

I'm having the EXACT same problem only my document saves the font in objects
or text blocks as MS PGothic instead of Tahoma. When other colleagues open
the file the font changed from Arial to MS PGothic. And when created on my
computer in Arial, the font changed from Arial to MS PGothic in my file. My
colleagues & I have same fonts available.
