I have been stumped trying to track down a resolution to
this problem. I have a system that since a few days back
started displaying incorrect graphics for numerous
buttons.

For example: the right arrows on the Start menu are now
displayed as small mouse icons; the Close button has been
replaced with a non-descript blob; Radio Buttons are now
blurry splotches on the page.

This seems to have started a couple of days ago when the
user was experiencing a problem seen before with
Powerpoint and the Oranizational Chart add-in having to do
with low memory conditions and a large number of fonts
installed on the system. (MS Knowlege Base Article 238307
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;238307&Product=ppt2000)

Fonts were deleted to rectify the problem, but to my
knowledge all of the required fonts are still in the
system.

I have exhausted my resources in finding a resolution to
this problem, perhaps I am wording my queries incorrectly,
but after a couple of hours of searching I am ready to re-
install the system unless someone out there has run across
this before.

Thank you,

Andrew Bubb

Hi Andrew,

The Marlett TrueType font is used for displaying the buttons you describe. Perhaps
it is corrupt or missing. For a general idea of how to replace a system font search
Windows 2000 Help for the topic titled "To add a new font to your computer". Also
see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:

KB304999 - How to Replace Missing System and TrueType Fonts
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=304999

BTW, the following is the only Microsoft Knowledge Base Article I can find that
describes the problem. It applies to Microsoft Windows 95, though...

Thank you very much, this solved the problem. I had been comparing my
list of required fonts without looking at the hidden fonts.

Thanks again,

Andrew
