Fonts not working after the Windows update
I don’t know if anyone has experienced this or not, I just wanted to post this from another website.
quote :We’ve taken several support calls today regarding an issue where PostScript fonts have stopped working within Flexi after last night’s Windows update. We’ve heard reports that this is also happening to Corel users.The Windows update affected 64bit operating systems from XP to 8. SAi is currently working toward a solution, but until we find one, we recommend against installing this latest Windows update. Learn more about the Windows update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2753842.
If you have already installed the update and are having difficulty using Flexi, you can uninstall the update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w…move-an-update.

I’ve not had any trouble yet. This email arrived this morning from Letterhead Fonts:-
Windows Update Bug
December 12, 2012Windows 7, Vista and XP users that installed the latest update from Microsoft on Tuesday, December 11th are reporting that Postscript OpenType fonts have disappeared from applications. This issue is not unique to LHF fonts, but affects all Postscript fonts installed.
The remedy is to set update settings to: "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" and then uninstall the update from yesterday by doing a system restore to an earlier point.
See this site for more information on how to configure your update settings.
Until Microsoft has discovered what the issue is, do not install any updates for Windows.

Thanks for that Doug
Yes this happened to me yesterday with Corel /XP – they just disappeared.
Must have had automatic updates on as when I came in yesterday morning my PC had restarted itself.
Now to try the system restore.
