Arial Black Problem

[Tom]

Hi,

I was working with Publisher 2003. Everything worked fine.

But suddenly, the Arial Black font turned Italic by no known reason. I
clicked the Italic font button but nothing happened.

So, I opened Word 2003. the Arial Black in Word was ok.

How do I make the font back to normal (not Italic)?
Would you help me to fix this font problem please?

Thanks!

Arial Black doesn't have a native italic file. Publisher will faux italic. Can
you high-light the text change it to some other font, turn off italics and then
change it back to Arial Black? Does that work?

I think I have fixed the problem.

I opened the Fonts folder and then drag'n drop the two Arial Black fonts
to the Desktop. I restarted the computer and then drag'n drop the fonts
back to the Fonts folder.

This seemed to fix the problem.

There must be something to do with the XP SP3 update!!!

Strange! There is a file called ARBLI___.TTF
As soon as I drag'n drop this font back to the Fonts folder, Publisher
turns all the Arial Black to italic!!!

AWWW!!!!

My Arial Black doesn't have the underscore. It is simply ariblk.ttf
There is an Arial Black Italic. According to this article, you must buy it, it
is not included in Office products.
