If strange symbols or the "symbol" font is being displayed instead of
the actual intended font, one of the following has most likely occurred:
- The intended font is no longer installed on the system. Check the
active fonts to make sure it is installed and operational. In Windows,
this is accomplished by going to Control Panel - Fonts. Then double
click on the font to view it.
- A document or form that had the intended font on it was opened in
edit mode on a computer that did not have the actual intended font installed
on it. If this happens, the "symbol" font is selected as the font type
and when the form is saved, the symbol font will appear instead of the
intended font. For example, a developer creates a form in Visual Basic
that has the MICR font selected. It is saved to a network drive and
then another developer opens the form, but does not have that particular
MICR font installed on his PC. Visual Basic will then select the next
closest font, which is the symbol font to display the information. When
the form is saved, it is saved with the symbol font instead.
