SYMPTOMS
When you convert a Word 4.0 document into Word 6.0 or Word 6.0.1, Word may
change fonts such as Times to New York.
CAUSE
Word 4.0 documents contain only a single Macintosh font code. Documents
retain this font code based on their Macintosh Font ID numbers. The Font ID
for the same font may differ from one Macintosh system to another. For
example, Chicago may be font 3 on one Macintosh system and font 16 on
another.
This may occur because the Macintosh system changes a font's ID number
if another font already uses that number. Most fonts do not always have
the same font code on different computers; however, font 2 is typically New
York. By default, Word 6.0 converts fonts to New York so that converted
documents will be legible on different Macintosh systems.
