DOCUMENT:Q117776 09-DEC-1999 [homemm] TITLE :Mac Cinemania 94: Foreign and Special Characters Display as Bo PRODUCT :Microsoft Home Multimedia Titles PROD/VER::1994 edition OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Cinemania for the Macintosh 1994 edition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Foreign language or special characters in the text of a review or cast list may display as boxes or as some other incorrect character. CAUSE ===== This problem occurs because of a conflict between the appropriate Lucida font (installed with Cinemania) and another font previously installed on the system. RESOLUTION ========== To correct this problem, do the following: 1. Delete the V Lucida Sans font suitcase. 2. Using Finder, reinstall the V Lucida Sans font suitcase from the Cinemania CD. 3. Use Finder to reinstall any add-on font packages. The special and foreign characters should now display correctly. MORE INFORMATION ================ The Apple system fonts are assigned certain ID numbers. When add-on fonts are installed, they must use ID numbers in a different range than that reserved for the system fonts. Sometimes a conflict can occur when a program other than the Finder (for example, an application's installer program) designates the add-on fonts' ID numbers. Allowing Finder to reset these ID numbers corrects the problem.
