SYMPTOMS
When you choose the Letterizer Tool in Creative Writer, only Impact,
Lucida Sans, Lucida Handwriting, Lucida Blackletter, and Stencil are
listed. Any other Windows TrueType fonts installed on the computer
are not displayed in the Creative Writer font list.
RESOLUTION
To resolve the problem in Windows 3.x, use the following steps:
- In Program Manager, run Control Panel from the Main group.
- Double-click the Fonts icon.
- Select the TrueType fonts. Choose the Remove button.
- You receive a dialog box that says
Are you sure you want to remove the <name> (TrueType) font?
where <name> is the name of the TrueType font.
Make sure that the Delete Font File From Disk check box is not
selected. Choose the Yes To All button.
- Choose the Add button in the Fonts dialog box. You receive an
Add Fonts dialog box that by default selects your Windows
directory.
- In the Windows directory, select the SYSTEM subdirectory (font
files are stored in the SYSTEM subdirectory). Choose the Select All
button, then choose OK. After the fonts are installed, close Control
Panel.
- In the Main group in Program Manager, open File Manager.
- Locate the MSKIDS\SHARED directory. Select the MSKIDS.INF file, and
delete it. When you run Creative Writer again, it re-creates the
MSKIDS.INF file.
After following these steps, all Windows TrueType fonts should appear
in Creative Writer when you choose the Letterizer Tool.
