FIX: Font File Not Usable on Windows 3.1J (140765)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q140765 SYMPTOMS
A TrueType font can be installed without problems under Windows 3.1 (US),
Windows NT Japanese version, and Windows 95 Japanese version, but cannot be
loaded under Windows 3.1J.
CAUSE
A null string exists in the 'name' table <NameID:2>, of the font. Normally,
this area contains string data of the font type, such as Regular, italic,
or bold. A character code conversion routine for name table string data
returns an error if this area contains a null string. Therefore the font
cannot be loaded. Windows 3.1 US and Windows 95 Japanese do not use this
routine, so the font can be loaded.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Windows 2000.
