SYMPTOMS
This error message appears when you attempt to convert a complex Type 1 font to a TrueType equivalent using the Fonts applet in Control Panel:
However, the input files in question are not corrupt, and the font is a valid Type 1 font.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, install the font as a Type 1 font without converting it to TrueType. Note that this provides a printer font without a TrueType equivalent, so you will not have a matching screen font. Also, the font will only be available for printing on PostScript print devices.
To install a Type 1 font without converting it to TrueType, follow these instructions:
- Start the Fonts component of Control Panel
- Choose the Add button
- Specify the Type 1 font you wish to install
- Choose the OK button
This may produce a copyright warning message. The warning only applies when you convert Type 1 fonts to TrueType. If you follow these steps you will not convert the font, and the warning will not apply.
- Clear the Convert Type 1 Font to TrueType check box. Make sure the Install Type 1 Font Files for Use on a PostScript Printer option is selected.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
