SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Microsoft Encarta, the Title Bar and other sections may display an
incorrect font.

RESOLUTION
==========

Run the Setup program for Encarta and click the Remove All option. Then run
Setup again to reinstall Encarta. This updates missing fonts.

MORE INFORMATION
================

During Setup, Encarta installs the following fonts to your system:

  Arial             (TrueType)
  MS Reference 1    (TrueType)
  MS Reference 2    (TrueType)
  Phonetic
  Symbol            (TrueType)

Encarta requires these fonts in addition to Times New Roman (TrueType), supplied
by Microsoft Windows, to correctly display all Encarta type elements.

If one or more of these fonts is missing, Encarta substitutes another available
font.

If this occurs, a section may display in an Italic, Bold, or Symbol type font.

By removing Encarta before you reinstall, Setup is forced to check Encarta system
files. Any missing system files located on the Encarta CD, including fonts, that
are needed to run the program correctly will be reinstalled.
