SYMPTOMS

When you open a file that has many fonts in Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 or in Microsoft Publisher 2002, you receive the following error message:
The font font name cannot be loaded. Your publication may not look as it was intended to look.
The error message may be repeated several times. For example, when you click OK to close one error message, the error message reappears mentioning a different font. If the font that is listed in the error message is actually installed on your system, it appears correctly. For example, if the error message mentions Garamond MT, and Garamond MT is installed on your system, the text is still in Garamond MT.
