SolidWorks Font and display errors with Office 2000

[JDone]

I have 3670 SolidWorks drawings that now have display errors because we changed to Office 2000. The text in my drawing formats is corrupt. It is somehow changing to Century Gothic (the original format was saved with Arial font). Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone seen this type of problem? Any suggestions to avoid fixing all drawings?

What does your VAR support say about this one? I have heard that SolidWorks 2003 will be bundled with Office. Bradley

They think that it was due to the way our IT dept. loaded Office 2000. They force fed it rather than installing to a clean environment. Looks like one program's fonts stomped on another's. This makes some sense. We have seen it with other programs.

What I used to do when I wanted to change the fonts back to something else. I would find Gothic.ttf on the C:\drive and rename it to something like Gothic_OldFont.ttf then copy arial.ttf to Gothic.ttf I would not do this as a normal course of business, because every MS Office upgrade would overwrite the fonts again. Also you would have to do this on every workstation. I would first try reinstalling SolidWorks on one computer to see if the fonts get corrected. Bradley
