The Font Compression feature included with Typecase, a third-party
application for Windows, may cause general protection (GP) faults and other
system errors when used with Microsoft Windows version 3.1.
CAUSE
Typecase allows users of Windows 3.1 to selectively activate and deactivate
TrueType fonts. If Typecase is installed, only activated fonts appear as
choices when you are selecting fonts within applications for Windows.
Typecase also includes an option that conserves disk space by compressing
deactivated fonts and leaving only activated fonts uncompressed.
However, if a compressed font is used by bypassing Typecase (for example,
by manually adding font entries to the WIN.INI file), GP faults and other
system errors may occur.
WORKAROUND
To remove or disable Typecase, do the following to ensure that no
compressed fonts remain on the system:
- Run the Typecase program.
- Select the [All Fonts] entry from the Typecase drop-down box.
- Select any font in the left-side font list box.
- Choose the Select All button.
- Choose the Activate button. If any fonts are currently compressed,
this will decompress them.
- Exit Typecase.

performance or reliability.
