How to: Determine if a font is corrupt.
Solution:
In the 'Fonts' window, double-click the desired font. If the file does not appear or cannot be printed, select the 'File' menu and select 'Install New Font...'. Select the appropriate drive and folder where the font files are located. Select the desired font to reinstall, and click 'OK'.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows 95 groups fonts in the 'Fonts' folder (contained in the 'Windows' folder). Printer fonts and some third-party fonts, such as Adobe Type Manager, may be located in another folder. See any third-party software documentation to determine where these fonts are installed.
To view the installed TrueType fonts:
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Settings' and select 'Control Panel'. (The 'Control Panel' window appears.)

3) Double-click the 'Fonts' icon. (The 'C:\WINDOWS\FONTS' window appears.)

4) Double-click the desired font icon. (A window appears containing the name of the font, the font type, the typeface, file size, version number, copyright information, and a sample of the font.)
5) If the information does not appear or cannot be printed, then the file is corrupt.
6) (Optional) To print the font example window, click 'Print'.
7) Click 'Done' to close the selected font window.
8) If the font is corrupt (i.e., the information did not appear in step 4), then reinstall the corrupt font:
a) In the 'C:\WINDOWS\FONTS' window, select the 'File' menu and select 'Install New Font...'. (The 'Add Fonts' dialog box appears.)
b) Select the appropriate drive from the 'Drives' drop-down list.
c) In the 'Folders' list box, double-click the appropriate folder(s) to locate the font files.
