After a complete overhaul, I have just done a clean install of Windows ME on an old 300Mhz Pentium. Everything is OK except that I have a minor but frustrating font problem.
On opening the Media Player, the text on the buttons does not appear, replaced by square boxes. Similarly in PageMaker, the title bar text in the Adobe-style dialog boxes is square boxes, as is the text reporting the progress in the splash screen. I haven’t found this affecting other programs so far, but…
Perhaps connected, if I open the raster fonts from the Control Panel or using Fontview, most do not display completely–square boxes replace the display in the larger sizes (MS Serif) or all sizes (Courier, etc.). Only MS Sans Serif displays normally–except that it doesn’t show the details of the producer. I have tried reinstalling these fonts from the CD, but this does not make any difference. If I copy the fonts to another computer (running XP), Fontview shows them normally.
Any ideas?
