Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / March 2005RE:Re Ad-aware
Please excuse me for starting a new post but again it is getting too long. I used TweakUI/repair fonts and I deleted ttfCache and rebooted. Neither worked...still have the problem in Ad-aware and Picture-It Scan. I reinstalled my Picture-It 2000 and that didn't help. I'm going to check my photo scanner in another program and see if the foreign language comes up. I checked my Fonts file and have 171 fonts at 14.1 MB. Thanks, Eileen You seem to have tried all the obvious 'fixes', Eileen. Beginning to run out of ideas. But, as Dave suggested earlier, it looks like an OS issue. However, just a couple of other suggestions which may be worth a go. Start | Run and type "scanreg /fix" in the 'Open:' box (no quotes and note the space between g and /) then OK. See if that helps. Control Panel | Fonts and Open each one in turn (Yes! I know you've got 171 of them <g>) and see if any appear in Greek. You *may* be able to find an offender that way. Might also be worth a look in Display Properties / Appearance and see if there are any odd fonts being used there. (Try to 'cancel' any accidental changes you make - or better still, set an SR point before you start <g>) Beyond that - and a last resort - possibly a re-install or even a clean install of WinMe.

On to checking out each font...and this is strange. Checking 'Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24'......there are three of these listed..... and Symbols GST. These four fonts, when checked, look like Greek.... but when I print them out they are squares, circles, triangles, arrows and a hand. Should I delete them? Didn't want to do that until I knew it was safe. Thanks, Eileen > You seem to have tried all the obvious 'fixes', Eileen. Beginning to run out > of ideas.

But as a matter of interest, are they 'exactly' the same fonts that you are seeing in Ad-aware? Still don't have any answers yet. Mart > Mart, > I did the scanreg /fix and nothing changed. [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] >> > >> > Thanks, Eileen Mart, As far as I can tell, they are the same. I checked both PhotoScan and Ad-aware.

Open WordPad and type the word - Status - (in whatever font you normally use) Then change the font to Symbol. Does the word now look like the first button in Ad-aware. If so, then - for some reason - your pc is using the Symbol font instead of probably Arial or a similar font. Still don't know why <g> - but check 'Appearance' settings for a 'symbol' entry.

Maybe we are getting somewhere... at least we now know the font that these two programs are using... but why. I went into Display/Appearance. A lot of the listing didn't have a chosen font, so I chose Times Roman Western and applied. Is this okay?

(And thanks for chipping-in Dave, it was way past my bed-time here <g>) I'm running XP here so I can't help you as to precisely which setting you need to look at in WinMe - trial and error I'm afraid. But there are an awful lot of settings to choose from to determine exactly which one affects your buttons. Be sure that you've set an SR point before you start - at least then you should be able to get back to where you are now, if all goes pear-shaped <g> Good luck Mart > From: "Eileen" <vann@nospam.invalid> > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > item > for the associated fonts @ 10 pts. I changed my font to Tahoma. I heard by from HP Photo Scan and they want me to download a driver to see if that corrects the language problem there. I have to leave the house now but will try to find time later. Thanks, Eileen > I would agree with David, those are probably the best fonts.

HP is trying to fix the font problem with the PhotoSmart Scanner with new software stating the program now is for Win 95\98 & NT 4.0 and I need the program for ME. Had to order it and should get it by the 4th. Do you think the same problem exists with the Ad-aware?

The fact that it stated "Win 95\98 & NT 4.0" means the documentation is old was printed printer to the release of WinME and Win2K. I doubt new software will help. It only will inherit the fonts set by the OS. I think we have already shown the problem is in the OS and not an application.
