FP98: Elements Jump to Bottom of Page Inserting Image, Text (194259)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q194259 For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 and earlier version of this article, see 154680.
SYMPTOMS
When you insert an image or type text in a new typeface in FrontPage
Editor, the image or text jumps to a position much lower on the page than
it should.
CAUSE
One or more of the Times New Roman font files may be corrupt (these files
are located in the \Windows\Fonts folder).
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
These font files contain equations that describe the various aspects of the
font such as baseline, ascender, descender. When some aspect of
the file is corrupt, FrontPage Editor may not interpret the size of the
font correctly (for example, it may appear that the font is much taller
than it actually is); therefore, any text of a different typeface or a
bottom-aligned image will be placed below this font because FrontPage
Editor interprets the corrupt font as being the tallest element on the
current line.
Times New Roman is selected by Windows browsers to render the default
Normal style font of HTML documents.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, replace the Times New Roman font files in
the \Windows\Fonts files that are not corrupt.
