NOTE: Because there are several versions of Windows, the following steps
may be different on your computer. If they are, please consult your product
documentation to complete these steps.
 
Windows 95
----------
 
To correct the corruption or manually reinstall any one of the Courier
New fonts from the Windows 95 disk, follow these steps:
 
1. Find and remove the corrupted Courier New font:
 
    a. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click
       Control Panel.
 
    b. Double-click the Fonts folder.
 
    c. To find the corrupted font, double-click each Courier New font
       listed until Windows returns an error message stating that the
       font is corrupted.
 
    d. Click the corrupted font.
 
    e. On the File menu, click Delete.
 
    f. When you are asked if you want to delete the font, click Yes.
 
    NOTE: To uninstall a font without removing it from the hard
    disk, move the font from the Fonts folder into another folder.
    You can use Windows Explorer to drag the font from the Fonts
    folder into another folder. For more information about moving
    files, click the Start button, and then click Help. Use the
    Index tab to find topics relating to moving things by drag-and-drop
    operations.
