Today MS Works appears to have stop recognising the Wingdings font
I use MS Works 4.5 on a W98 machine to run a VERY simple database at work that helps to prioritise my workload.
A couple of cells use Wingdings symbols to flag aspects of certain jobs for special attention on a daily report. I’ve been using fine for 2/3 years until today…..
All Wingdings symbols are substituted by their “regular” keyboard equivalents.
Neither the font nor point sizes are available from the list boxes, in any MS Work application.
The font appears to be fine from any other app. (Word, Charmap, Illustrator etc.)
I have removed/reinstalled Works, and the font (extracted a new copy from the W98 cab_47 file), no change.
I’ve done all the usual stuff, restart, scandisc etc. I even looked at the font folder in DOS but couldn’t see any weirdness/duplicates or whatever.
This isn’t the most important thing in the world, I can use any symbol I want (Wingding 2 & 3 are fine), but like somany MS problems it just annoys the hell out of me.
Any ideas?
