Bookshelf 98: Arial and Symbol Fonts Required but Not Installed (173563)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Bookshelf 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q173563

SYMPTOMS

Bookshelf 98 requires the Arial and Symbol system fonts to display information properly. However, if these fonts are not installed on your computer when you install Bookshelf 98, Bookshelf does not install the fonts.

NOTE: This problem has been resolved in Microsoft Bookshelf 99 and Microsoft Bookshelf 2000.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, reinstall Microsoft Windows to restore the missing system fonts. To do this:
  1. Insert the Windows CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Press and hold down the SHIFT key when you insert the Windows CD-ROM to prevent the Windows CD-ROM from starting automatically.
  2. Click Start, and then click Run.
  3. In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK

    <drive>:\setup

    where <drive> is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen. If you are prompted to choose between "Copy all Windows files again" or "Restore Windows files that are changed or corrupted," click Restore Windows files that are changed or corrupted.
You can also manually extract the missing system font files directly from the Windows CD-ROM. For instructions about how to accomplish this task, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
