>>>>>>>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?

>>>I just had a chat with my user over the phone. What we see is that there is no problem with the Courier New font ... the italics just show up for Arial. In his Windows\Fonts he has a Courier New Regular entry, but in his Arial Fonts he does not see an Arial "regular".

>>>I think you've nailed the problem. I don't have a second Windows 7 machine available to get a coipy from so I'll see what I can find on the Microsoft site.

>>>Thanks. I'll let you know how it works out.

>>The arial problem you describe is exactly what I had - I do not know the cause of it

>>I think you can copy it from a Vista machine should you not be able to find one.
>>You may need to reboot after you have copied the font - I don't remember any more

>I had my user download an Arial font from http://mac.nickshanks.com/fonts/microsoft-core-web-fonts and it both downloaded the font and installed the font. The problem is fixed. Thanks so much to all for the help.
