Cannot get selected fonts

A new bug!! Suddenly, when I select a font to use, it always reverts back to 
New Times Roman  - with occasional exceptions:   Antiquarian, Adolescence, 
Arial so far; I haven't been down the entire list. But the ones I want to 
use will  go to NTRoman.

Really need some help on this soon.  My newsletter is overdue!

Thanks.  Pat 

Pat,

Have you checked the Windows Font folder to verify that the font files 
are still present?

Does this happen when working with just one specific document, or with many?

If it is with many, please try renaming the default template file 
(usually WP12xx.WPT, where xx is your country code, such as "us") to 
WP12Back.WPT.  Restart WPWin12, and a new clean template file will be 
created.  If this solves the problem, the FAQ at 
http://www.wpuniverse.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18046
on Saving and Restoring Customisations should help you recover 
personalisations of menu, keyboard, toolbar, styles, etc.

Of course, if it does not help, rename WP12Back.wpt back to its original 
name, over-writing the newly created default template file.

 Thanks so much for your help..My problem continued after many attempts - I 
was putting text  into a text box surrounded by a border.  Set up a new 
one - then different fonts than the ones I had selected showed up in the 
font box.  Things were apparently getting worse!  Next day, I started all 
over with a new document and voila! the fonts started working as they 
should have in the first place.  I do not have any idea why this should have 
happened. I am only  grateful that it cleared itself up.

Your immediate response and suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Pat Scher

Pat,

I've seen that from time to time. When I worked with WP9 under Win98, I 
was convinced that it was a memory problem. Now I have WP11 under Win XP 
and plenty of memory, and it still happens from time to time (and 
usually with the same templates as before, but not necessarily). So my 
conviction of it being a memory problem has gone and my ignorance has grown.

It is a bit annoying, but not a serious problem. For me, saving the 
document (even with the "wrong" font displaying, closing and reopening

it does the trick.

Wolfgang

Thanks, Wolfgang.  It is nice to know that I am not the only one with these 
unusual problems!
