Ad-awarec & Scanner & Font

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

Forgive me again for a new post on an old problem. David & Mart are so
right. I got the new software for the HP PhotoSmart Scanner, installed it
and still have the same problem. I even un-installed Ad-aware before
installing this update.

HP called me and said that my FONTS Folder is corrupted and I should call
Microsoft to repair it. Or I could do it myself by deleting the contents of
the Fonts Folder and copying from another PC that has ME and copying it to
my Folder.

I don't know about this. What do you say.

Thanks, Eileen

I'm glad you posted
Thanx for the updated information.

Look at your WIN.INI file

There is a section called ...
[FontSubstitutes]

Please Copy & Paste the entries below [FontSubstitutes] in your win.in file.

David,
First, I opened WIN.INI in Windows Explorer and couldn't read it because it
was in Symbol font.

Do you want me to go to the two sites you posted and copy the contents to
WIN.INI ?

..INI files are ASCII and should be associated to NOTEPAD.EXE

You can manually load it by the following command...
Go to; Start --> Run
notepad %windir%\win.ini

The in notepad, look for [FontSubstitutes]

Then highlight [FontSubstitutes] and all below it until the next [ExampleHeading], copy it
and then paste the results in the reply to this post.

Just got home from having dinner out.

I didn't find VGAFIXED.FON file in my Windows Font. However...
Some months ago, I moved a lot of fonts out that I don't use and put them in
a folder that I call 'extra fonts'.

In one of the files there is a font VGAFIX.FON. It is 6KB. Is this the one
you are asking about?

David,
Sorry to be such trouble but.... I unzipped and tried to install the four
fonts and got a message that Fixedsystem and Terminal were already installed
and I must uninstall them before installed updated.

Checked my font files and I have two Fixedsys:
Fixedsys (VGAFIX.FON) &
Fixedsys for the IBM 8514 (8514Fix.Fon)
and
Three Terminal:
Terminal (VGA850_0.Fon)
Terminal (VGAOEM.Fon) &
Terminal Font for the IBM 8514 (8514OEM.Fon)

Which ones do I uninstall?

Thanks for being so helpful,
Eileen

David,
Deleted Fixedsys (VGAFIX.FON) and installed the one you sent.
Still seeing the symbol font in my HP PhotoSmart Scanner.
Guess I am just going to put up with the problem unless you can think of
something else.

At least if you open NOTEPAD.EXE you can change the font in the pull-down menu.

Please do so !

But before you actually change the font, please take a moment and note the font presently
being used.

Please reply back with the NAME of the font (and the disk file name) that NOTEPAD was using
before you change it.

David,
In notepad the font was 'Symbol Regular'.
I changed it to Times Roman, closed it, and when I reopened it, it was Times
Roman. Does that mean it will stay? I also tried my scanner again, but it
still is using Symbol.

Thanks, Eileen

Pardon the butt-in, but has the system font been corrupted? It should be :
8514SYS.FON 9.39 KB (9,616 bytes) Modified Thursday, June 08, 2000, 5:00:00
PM. If anything else looks odd extract a new copy with MSCONFIG and see if
that helps. Otherwise kindly tell me to butt out.

Do a search of the complete Registry on the text; Symbol Regular

Do NOT take any action but takle note of the full path to the key in the Registry and the

I don't know if I can explain it properly. :-(

But that is the next step.

Search for occurrences of; "Symbol Regular" and "Symbole.fon"
and note their locations. Then compare their locations to to the settings of the Registry
of a known good WinME PC. That may provide information.

Start --> run
type; Regedit

Put the cursor at the most Root Level (my computer)
From the Pull-Down men; Edit --> find
type; Symbol Regular

Then you would have to note all the locations where it was found.

{ sorry, the following example is from a Win2K platform, the platform I use to post/read
UseNet News Groups. This example is to show what is needed, it is NOT an example of what
exactly or nearly what YOU will find }

Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
^^^ The above represents the full path to a Registry key.

Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)
^^^ The above represents the actual Registry key where the txt was found.

Then you would repeat the process...

Put the cursor at the most Root Level (my computer)
From the Pull-Down men; Edit --> find
type; SYMBOLE.FON

It is possible to copy and paste the text out of the Registry.

Do NOT make changes in the Registry. Mistakes in the Registry can be fatal to the OS !

David,
Typing 'Symbol Regular' found nothing.
Typing 'SYMBOLE.FON" got Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGARES). "SYMBOLE.FON"
That was all the info.

That doesn't tell me where, in what hive, was that Registry key found.

As in my example --
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

The hive is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (Aka, HKLM )
