Where are my fonts?

[theConjurian]

I am starting to migrate an application from Access 2000 to Access 2002 and have run into something of a roadblock. I cannot access any fonts under 2002.

First of all:
System 1:
Windows XP
Office 2000
original development system

System 2:
Windows 98 SE
Office XP
migration system

When I select any text object the font appears in the drop down list, but there are no other fonts listed.

Can anyone tell me what is going on?

1) Do all the fonts show up in other Office apps?

2) Do all the fonts show up if you CREATE a new db in Access/02?

3) If both answers are YES, try IMPORTING your objects rather than CONVERTING the database.

This is an odd one, and may have nothing whatsoever to do with Access, per se, especially if the answer to #1 above is "NO"...

In that case, you may need to re-establish the font system folder somehow, and, not being familiar with XP, I can offer no help.

The TweakUI utility has a "font folder repair" facility, though.

YES

2) Do all the fonts show up if you CREATE a new db in Access/02?

YES. I can create a new report and it will run fine.

3) If both answers are YES, try IMPORTING your objects rather than CONVERTING the database.

NO - This does not work either!

4) The TweakUI utility has a "font folder repair" facility, though.

That made no difference either.

Unless someone has any better ideas, I am going to try to run this on a machine with Office XP AND Windows XP. I have no idea, though, why that might make a difference.
