SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Plus!, the 8 x 16 TrueType font may no longer
be available in the Font box when you run an MS-DOS-based program.
CAUSE
The font list built from the [TTFontDimenCache] section in the System.ini
file has been changed.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the System.ini file
in the Windows\System folder.
- Add the following line to the [TTFontDimenCache] section of the file:
- Change the line numbering for the existing lines 0 15 and 0 16 to 0 16
and 0 17.
- Save and then close the System.ini file, and then restart Windows 95.
MORE INFORMATION
Installing Microsoft Plus! installs the Lucida Console TrueType font,
which changes the font dimension settings, overwriting the default
settings.
