missing font names - single letters for font names in ms word
My system got infected and after cleaning out the virus, the font name drop
down listed font names as a, b, c, ...z and defaulted to symbol fonts when i typed. Fonts in all other applications worked fine. This was true for every user account on my system. I tried uninstall/reinstall of ms word a few times and some other suggestions i found on the web, like deleting Normal.dot, deleting all restore points, etc. Nothing worked. Then, I created a new user profile (account) on my system. Logged in under that account and ms word worked fine. So, i think something was hosed in the hidden folder Application Data under all of the user accounts. I wound up copying my favorites, documents, etc. to the new profile using windows explorer and then deleted my old user account. All is working fine, now. Hope this helps someone |
