OS: WFWG 3.11
CPU/Ram: 32MB
Comment:
I am running WFWG 3.11 on a Virtual PC using the 45 day trial of Microsoft Virtual PC 2004. When ever I install Office 4.3 Pro or use Internet Explorer 4 i get a big white box saying:

"Invalid True Type Font Detected. An application used a true type font that caused an error in windows. Quit all applications and restart windows".

Im at my wits end to solve this problem can anyone help.

Thanks
Mike

Did you ever install any 32bit MS apps (eg. are you using win32s?)..the 32bit tahoma font can cause that problem in 16bit apps such as office 4.3 pro...look for the tahoma font and if it's dated newer than '94 you might want to remove it for a bit and try it then...if that doesn't work try looking for other newer fonts, although there's no way if telling if they're the 32bit ones you might get lucky...
