This article was previously published under Q173563
SYMPTOMS
Bookshelf 98 requires the Arial and Symbol system fonts to display
information properly. However, if these fonts are not installed on your
computer when you install Bookshelf 98, Bookshelf does not install the
fonts.
NOTE: This problem has been resolved in Microsoft Bookshelf 99
and Microsoft Bookshelf 2000.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, reinstall Microsoft Windows to restore the missing system fonts. To do this:
- Insert the Windows CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Press and hold
down the SHIFT key when you insert the Windows CD-ROM to prevent
the Windows CD-ROM from starting automatically.
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK
where <drive> is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive.
- Follow the instructions on the screen. If you are prompted to
choose between "Copy all Windows files again" or "Restore Windows files
that are changed or corrupted," click Restore Windows
files that are changed or corrupted.
You can also manually extract the missing system font files directly
from the Windows CD-ROM. For instructions about how to accomplish this
task, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
