SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Picture It! parts of the Help topics, Camera Tips, or certain headings may appear garbled, too small, too large, or hard to read.



CAUSE
Picture It! uses specific fonts for online Help, Camera Tips, and certain headings. If these fonts are missing or corrupted, a similar font is substituted. The substituted font may produce the symptoms descibed above.



RESOLUTION
Look for these fonts in the \Windows\Fonts folder    Font                    Filename      Use ---   Comic Sans MS           comic.ttf     online Help and Camera Tips Comic Sans MS Bold     comicbd.ttf   online Help and Camera Tips Tw Cent MT Bold        tcb___.ttf    Help and various headings If the fonts are present but don't display properly, delete them before reinstalling. If the fonts are missing, restore them by reinstalling Picture It!.



MORE INFORMATION
If the Comic Sans MS font is missing, Picture It! substitutes Comic Sans MS Bold. If both Comic fonts are missing, Picture It! substitutes a light script font.

Tw Cent MT Bold is used in online Help for headings such as the Contents screen where it says "Contents, Step-by-step projects, Using Picture It!". If the Tw Cent MT Bold font is missing, the system substitutes Arial.
