SYMPTOMS

If you install and then later remove the Multilanguage Support option, the multilanguage fonts continue to appear in the Fonts box in WordPad.

If you select a multilanguage font [such as Times New Roman (Greek)], the Western version of the font [such as Times New Roman (Western)] is used. The Western version of the font is displayed and printed correctly.

This problem also affects Microsoft Paint, but does not affect other programs.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
  • Select fonts using the Fonts command on the Format menu. The correct fonts are listed.
  • Reinstall Windows 95. Do not select the Multilanguage Support option. When Setup is finished, the multilanguage fonts entries are removed.
