Arial Font Exhaust 12/30/2008 2:16:07 PM I am running Windows XP professional, and using Office 2007. The problem I have is with fonts but i believe it only affects Powerpoint 2007. It seems that when i open Powerpoint i have one TrueType Arial font and nothing else. If i open an older Powerpoint presentation that seems to be created in Powerpoint 2003, i have two Arials listed in the Drop down menu, one is the True type font, and the other just states "Arial" without the True type icon next to it. I have tested this on another PC and it seems to do the same thing. The problem is that on one PC, the Non True Type Arial is different from the Truetype. When i open the Fonts dialog box and highlight the Non Truetype Arial it states "This font is not installed, The closest available font will be printed." I do not know where Powerpoint is pulling this font from, it is definately not Arial. I have tried uninstalling Office 2007 and re-installing it. I have also tried uninstalling all the fonts that windows lets me, and reinstalling the fonts from another PC in C:\Windows\Fonts. I have also deleted all the printers. I have also started powerpoint in safemode as well. All microsoft Office updates are applied as well. If you would like i can send you a powerpoint Presentation that will allow you to see the 2 arial fonts on the drop down.

Acrobat and perhaps some other Adobe products used to (still does?) ship with a Type1/PostScript version of Arial. It sounds as though someone may've picked it instead of TT Arial. Does it show any icon? Try using the Format, Replace Fonts dialog to choose this "rogue" Arial and replace it with Arial TrueType.
