The information in this article applies to:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you choose a font from the font list in PowerPoint, only a limited number
of fonts may be listed, and those listed may have a question mark in front of
each name instead of a TrueType symbol.
You may also find that regardless of the font or text size you choose, your text
may appear very small and/or jagged.
CAUSE
=====
This can be caused by any one of the following:
- You do not have a printer driver installed in Windows 95.
- Your current default printer is set to Generic/Text Only.
- The current default printer driver is corrupt or damaged.
- Your current default printer is using a Windows 3.x printer driver.
- Your default printer is a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 500 and the printer
resolution is currently set to 75dpi.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, use the appropriate method for your situation:
- If you have not installed a printer in Windows 95, do so to correct the
problem.
- If your default printer is set to Generic/Text only, set another printer as
default.
- If your default printer driver is damaged or corrupted, remove that driver
and re-install it.
- If your default printer is using a Windows 3.x driver, remove it and install
the Windows 95 driver for that printer, or contact the manufacturer of your
printer.
- If your default printer is a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 500, you can change the
printer resolution to 150 dots-per-inch (dpi) or to 300 dpi, or you can set
up a new default printer.
