This article was previously published under Q187658 SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade Microsoft Windows 3.x or Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups 3.x to Windows 98, the following bitmap fonts (.fon) may by
listed twice in the Fonts tool in Control Panel:
- MS Sans Serif
- MS Serif
- Small Fonts
- Courier
NOTE: Other bitmap fonts may be listed twice if you installed them
separately.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Fontreg.exe file that is run during
Windows 98 Setup incorrectly migrates Windows 3.x and Windows for
Workgroups 3.x .fon files.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, delete duplicate bitmap fonts in the Fonts
tool. To do so, right-click the font you want to delete, and then click
Delete.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 98.
MORE INFORMATION
Bitmap fonts that are listed twice in the Fonts tool are listed only once
in programs.
