>Hi,
>I don't know for sure, was this problem already here and has someone solution of you, but I had have yesterday this problem: sometime I'm making little app using FPW 2.6a. Short and nice. On my old PC configuration I was developed some app which has been using some strange font. I didn't saw it in right moment, because on screen all was fine but during printing report shows different letters and complete font. I was try same app on other PC and same thing. I was open report in order to make modification and in many of fields, under menu option Object/Font wasn't no information, blank, just size! I could change it by the hand but too many fields were. Why is empty?Then I was open report with
>USE name_report.frx && like the table
>BROWSE
>and voila, there were many fields, some of them are Memo. In the some records under column name "Fontname" I found name of missed font MS Serif. Such font wasn't on PC. Then I replace all such place with issue command:
>REPLACE Fontname WITH "Times New Roman" FOR Fontname="MS Serif"
>CLOS DATA
>Then problem was solved! I hope that this could to someone help.

You should have 'MS Serif' on your PC. I just checked Win98SE and WIN2K PRO and both have this font instaled.
