Hi, I am currently running MS Word 4.0 with system 7. I have all the
truetype fonts installed that came with sys7. Helvetica being one of
them. The problem I have is that before converting to sys7, I had a
document in word with helvetica. I had it all nice and neat. Well,
I just recently opened it in sys7 and the font looked a little
different. When I printed it out, it was the same font only the letters
were all real closely spaced together making the formatting of the
file totally screwed up. Any comments or solutions? I haven't tried
taking the truetype font out of the system yet. Thanks for your help.
Jim

And when I pull up the actual fonts side by side in the system folder by double clicking them, they look different. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ccastjs@prism.gatech.edu Jim Stembridge, 3037 Springdale Road, Hapeville, Georgia 30354 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice I received was to load the bitmapped version anyway. It'll still print in True- Type, but the display will be like the old one. Sure enough, it worked. So reload the old size and all should be well again. Bob Kosovsky
