SYMPTOMS
When you start Encarta for the Macintosh, you may receive the following error message:
When you start Encarta for the Macintosh 1997, you may receive the following error message:
NOTE: Encarta 97 Encyclopedia uses the following fonts: Arial, HM Phonetic, MS Reference, Symbol, and Times New Roman.
CAUSE
The error message may be caused by either of the following conditions:
- The V Lucida Sans font suitcase is not in the Fonts folder located in the System Folder.
-or-
- There are more than 128 font suitcases present in the Fonts folder in the System Folder.
RESOLUTION
If the V Lucida Sans font suitcase is not in the Fonts folder, do the following:
NOTE: System versions earlier than 7.1 do not contain a Fonts folder. If you have a version earlier than 7.1, replace references to the Fonts folder with the System suitcase in the following procedures.
- Insert and open the Encarta compact disc.
- Open the Installer Files folder.
- Open the System Files folder.
- Drag the V Lucida Sans suitcase into the Fonts folder located in the System Folder.
To determine if you have more than 128 font suitcases located in the Fonts folder (located in your System Folder), and to correct the problem if that is the case, follow these steps:
- Open the System Folder.
- Open the Fonts folder.
- On the View menu, click By Kind. This arranges the Fonts folder contents so all of the font suitcases are in one location.
NOTE: If there are more than 128 font suitcases within the Fonts folder, Encarta 1994 will fail to start.
- If you have more than 128 font suitcases, remove the excess font suitcases from the Fonts folder by dragging them onto the desktop.
NOTE: Do not delete the V Lucida Sans font suitcase located in the Fonts folder. Encarta fails to load if the font is removed.
