Are you running Win XP and, if so, did you upgrade (on purpose or automatically) to Service Pack 3?

This upgrade substituted some new fonts for, among other things, Arial bold and maybe some Tahoma fonts.

I had a problem with Arial bold, which I use a lot for heads in my newsletter. It looked okay in the newsletters when they arrived on other people's computers. But on my screens they were always in italics because my computer could not find the bold font.

If you're using XP and had the upgrade to SP3, let me know, and I'll dig around and find the fix I used.
