This article was previously published under Q134082

SUMMARY

The Office 7.0 for Windows 95 Resource Kit includes updated versions of the Multinational Ext And Greek Symbol fonts that were originally made available with the WordPerfect 5.x/6.0 Supplemental Converter Kit for Word 6.x for Windows.

These fonts are also included in the ValuPack section of the Office for Windows 95 CD-ROM. They are not included with the stand-alone version of Word.

MORE INFORMATION

Problems these updated fonts address include the following:

  • The Greek Symbols font had the same Panose number as Arial. (Panose numbers represent the characteristics of a font, such as serif/sans serif, formatting [bold, italic], weight, and so on.) Because the WordPerfect 6.0 converter uses Panose numbers to perform font mapping, text formatting for a Swiss (Arial) style font may be mapped to the Greek Symbols font and therefore appear as Greek characters.
  • Extended characters from an earlier release of the Multinational Ext font do not appear in the Insert Symbol dialog box in Word 6.x or 7.0 under Windows 95.
