- I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me out with this
- annoying problem from MSWORD 2.0 FOR WINDOWS that had consume so much of my
- time and energy:
-
- MY SYSTEM CONFIG :
- 1. 486/33 DX - 4 MB on BOARD
- 2. 120 MB HDD and 2 DD 1.44 and 1.2
- 3. Dos 5.0 and Win 3.1
- 4. Tseng ET4000 with 1MB VRAM and COLORVIEW 800X600X256 drivers
- 5. no printers connected. ( I always use PRINT TO FILE )
- 6. TSR - diet , fdread , boot.sys .
-
- My equation editor is installed with QMS-810 printer as default and
- several other dot-matrix printers at idle. The problem is whenever I started
- the equation editor, I get the message " MT-EXTRA font and FENCES font not
- found and " Some fonts will not be displayed or printed ". I tried it out
- and some of the fonts cannot be displayed properly are Integration sign ( I
- get a Z sign instead ) . It only happens to certain mathematical
- functions while other greek characters come out well on screen and
- printers. Well, the HELP file from Word only says this problem is due to
- printers installed after MS Word Equation editor is installed ... which is
- obviously not true for me. I had checked with the other friends with a 386/
- 33 and 486/33 computers and they install Word 2.0 using custom config ...
- ALL OF US FACED THE SAME PROBLEM!
-
- My Word for windows dated 28/10/91 . I try changing to other default
- printers such as HP Postscript and reinstalled Equation Editor but it
- doesn't work. Well, I found out that the fonts that Word installed for
- me is only :
-
- FENCES.FON FENCES.TTF MTEXTRA.FON MTEXTRA.TTF
-
- and all of them resides under WINDOWS/SYSTEM subdirectory. The Font Manager
- cannot display both fonts also when selected. I checked the substitution
- table under Equation Editor but MTEXTRA and FENCES fonts doesn't appear
- under the selection lists of fonts ( My Equation Editor only made
- use of Symbols fonts and Times Romans fonts). Obviously both fonts had been
- installed ( For True Type , only .TTF and .FON is required , altho there are
- a bundles of .SFP .PFM .PFB fonts for MTEXTRA and FENCES on the installation
- disks. ). Suprisingly, the other friend of mine installed Word 2.0 on his
- laptop with Win 3.1 with no default printer and he doesn't have these
- problems. This time I found .SFP .PFM .PFB fonts on his hard disk in
- addition to True Type fonts. So, I scrapped the Word away and reinstalled
- everything again ( including the main program of Win Word 2.0 ) with no
- default printer. It still didn't work for me ..and only .FON .TTF fonts are
- installed. I tried to reinstalled MS Word again by disabling True Type fonts
- from Font Manager , but still .FON and .TTF fonts are copied to my hard disk
- and the same sickening problem persists!
-
- If anybody got the solution the problem , please let me know for I
- am getting desperate!( Got Report to type and require equation editor).
-
- THANK YOU IN ADVANCE !
