MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / March 2008Publisher 2007 Garamond font is not displaying correctly
A simple document in Pub 2007 is giving me fits. Using Garamond for my heading and certain letters (r, l, y for example) are not displaying correctly. this happens on occasion with other fonts as well. is there some global setting that i am missing? The character spacing is not uniform when you print a document that uses the Garamond font in Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908358/en-us  SignatureMary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com >A simple document in Pub 2007 is giving me fits.

Thanks, but it's not the spacing it's the characters themselves...certain letters are not displaying correctly - they do not look like the Garamond version of themselves. And the problem is NOT when printing, it's when creating the document! hellllllllllllllp! > The character spacing is not uniform when you print a document that uses the > Garamond font in Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > correctly. this happens on occasion with other fonts as well. is there some > > global setting that i am missing? > Thanks, but it's not the spacing it's the characters themselves...certain > letters are not displaying correctly - they do not look like the Garamond > version of themselves.

SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Thanks, Ed. yes...at all zoom levels and yes...updated display driver. it is really weird and really frustrating. i have the same header in a text box in a different .pub document where it displays perfectly; if i copy the text box and paste it into this document, i get the funky effect - some letters are not in the Garamond font and they are "off" (either oddly spaced or below/above the other letters or both) bizarre. > > Thanks, but it's not the spacing it's the characters themselves...certain > > letters are not displaying correctly - they do not look like the Garamond [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Are you running the latest version of your display driver? What happens when you DON'T copy/paste Garamond from another publication? Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression | Thanks, Ed. | [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] | > | > Are you running the latest version of your display driver? > yes...at all zoom levels and yes...updated display driver. Are you using Font Embedding in this publication? SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org YES!! and when i un-embedded the fonts...it worked! Oh what a relief it is...thanks a bunch. > > yes...at all zoom levels and yes...updated display driver. > > Are you using Font Embedding in this publication? what is font embedding? > > yes...at all zoom levels and yes...updated display driver. > > Are you using Font Embedding in this publication? > what is font embedding? An accident waiting to happen, normally. It's a feature found in Publisher where it will store a copy of all embeddable fonts used in the publication in the .pub file, so that if you should take it to another machine, it doesn't look different if fonts aren't available. Normally it causes more trouble than it's worth. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org thanks Ed, I'm just a little bit smarter now! > > what is font embedding? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > you should take it to another machine, it doesn't look different if > fonts aren't available.
