System TipThis article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows Vista Solution Center
This article was previously published under Q232172

SYMPTOMS

When you try to view Arial Black Bold characters in Microsoft WordPad, some of these characters may be truncated and may not be displayed properly or at all. Note that this text may print correctly.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if you do not have the actual Arial Black Bold font installed on your computer. If you do not have the actual Arial Black Bold font installed on your computer, Windows tries to approximate the "bold" effect, however, this effect does not work well with Arial Black.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, use a different font that is actually installed on your computer, or use a different word processing program such as Microsoft Word for Windows.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
  • Microsoft Windows 95

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
