- TITLE :Encarta Err Msg on Windows NT: The Necessary Text Fonts...
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- After installing Microsoft Encarta on a Windows NT system, you receive
- the following message when Encarta tries to run:
-
- The necessary text fonts are not available. If you have just set up
- Encarta, you must restart Windows.
-
- After you receive the error message, you cannot run Encarta.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- When you run the Setup program for Encarta, the program wants you to
- restart Windows at the end of Setup before the program can run. The
- program tries to restart Windows but only logs you off; this doesn't
- restart the Win32 subsystem so the fonts are not yet installed.
-
- The fonts are not available until you restart your system because
- Encarta does not use AddFontResource during setup. Instead, Encarta
- adds the fonts to the [Fonts] section in WIN.INI/registry. In other
- words, Encarta relies on system initialization to load the fonts.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To work around this problem, restart your computer (closing Windows on
- Windows [WOW], closing the virtual MS-DOS machine [VDM], or logging
- out doesn't correct the problem--you must restart the computer).
-
- Additional reference words: 3.10 reboot
