SUMMARY

Hewlett-Packard (HP) included a TrueType font package called "Fonts for the Family" with some HP printers. Several of the fonts in this package have proved to be incompatible with Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98. When you are using these incompatible fonts in any program in Windows 95/98, your computer may stop responding (hang). When this occurs, pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE has no effect. You must shut down and restart your computer.
