Multilanguage Font Entries Are Not Removed from WordPad

 Last reviewed: May 6, 1996
Article ID: Q150608
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

If you install and then later remove the Multilanguage Support option, the multilanguage fonts continue to appear in the Fonts box in WordPad.

If you select a multilanguage font [such as Times New Roman (Greek)], the Western version of the font [such as Times New Roman (Western)] is used. The Western version of the font is displayed and printed correctly.

This problem also affects Microsoft Paint, but does not affect other programs.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

  • Select fonts using the Fonts command on the Format menu. The correct fonts are listed.
  • Reinstall Windows 95. Do not select the Multilanguage Support option. When Setup is finished, the multilanguage fonts entries are removed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
