SYMPTOMS
When using various MonoType(MT) fonts in a WordArt version 3.2 frame, the font may be displayed as Courier in the WordArt frame. The font may also be printed as it appears on the screen. This behavior may appear intermittently. The following MonoType(MT) fonts are known to exhibit this symptom:

Brush Script MT

Colonna MT

Engravers MT

Footlight MT Light

Matura MT Script Capitals

Palace Script MT

Perpetua Titling MT

Rage Italic

Script MT Bold

NOTE: Other MontoType(MT) fonts not included in the above list may also exhibit this behavior.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, you can force the MonoType(MT) font to be displayed and printed correctly by using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Switch to Italic Formatting and then back to Normal Formatting
While in the WordArt frame, click the Italic button on the Formatting coolbar to change the formatting of the text to italic. Click the Italic button again to return to normal formatting.

Method 2: Switch between a Non-MonoType(MT) Font and MonoType(MT) Font
While in the WordArt frame, select a non-MonoType(MT) font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and then reselect the MonoType(MT) font you want.

Method 3: Use Microsoft Draw WordArt Feature
If the text is still displayed and printed incorrectly after you tried Methods 1 and 2, use the WordArt feature in Microsoft Draw 98, a tool that is shipped with Publisher 98. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Insert Menu, point to Picture, and then click New Drawing.
 * 2) Click the Insert WordArt button on the Drawing Toolbar to create the text effect you want.

For information about using WordArt in Microsoft Draw, click Contents And index on the Help menu, click the Index tab, type the following text

WordArt

and then double-click the selected text to go to the "Add or edit a special text effect" topic.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
