Eurostile font problem in Word 2007 on Vista Home Premium

by avadhani Sep 30, 2007 12:47AM PDT

I was recently running a Registry Mechanic (PC Tools) scan and saw that there was an invalid Windows font entry, that was subsequently deleted. The font in question is Eurostile (True Type). When I open Word 2007 (MS Office Home and Student 2007) the default settings are: View - Print Layout, Font - Calibri (Body). But the moment I search or scroll down for Eurostile, I get a message saying "There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font." I click on OK - the error message goes away, the document view switches from 'Print Layout' to 'Draft' and now.... Eurostile can be selected! I looked in my Fonts folder and can find only Eurostile Bold (OpenType). Can someone please explain what the problem might be? Thanks!

I have 80 GB free HD space, 2 GB RAM and run Vista Home Premium.

Eurostile problem persists
by avadhani Sep 30, 2007 7:28AM PDT

Hi Bob! I have no idea where the font came from. I did not install it. I deleted it from the Fonts folder but it still appears in the list of fonts for MS Word. In Excel, it doesn't give me the error message but anything typed using Eurostile (in Excel) isn't visible. Weird.

(NT) Why not simply remove this font?

How....

Hi,

I deleted the font from the Fonts folder and reinstalled it. Somehow, it isn't giving me any problems in Word or Excel anymore. It works perfectly. But now when I am running Registry Mechanic, I'm careful to NOT delete the invalid fonts entry Wink I'm average with computers so I can't provide you any technical explanations Sad But I'm happy this got solved!!
