>>>A user of mine replaced a computer from his group of Vista computers with one running Windows 7. They all run the same VFP 9 SP2 program on a local network. The new machine now shows "regular" characters on the screen as italics but leaves any characters in bold as not having italics. The Vista machines (correctly) do not show italics. It happens on some reports but not others (both on the screen and in the printed version), and seems to be happening on all of the forms. My client is reporting so I'm not yet sure if it's some or all of the forms.

>>>Any thoughts. The best clue that I've got is that only some of the reports are affected, but I haven't examined the differences in the reports yet.

Can you give me some direction on how to copy the fonts (where are they located?), and as there is only one Window’s 7 machine, do you have a link that I could use to get a fresh copy from Microsoft?

Maybe you use different fonts in your reports ?

They are in C:\Windows\Fonts

You can easily see for yourself. Use windows explorer to see the contents of the folder
Then double click on one of the suspected fonts and you will see. The one I've had trouble with was either arial or courier new
