Microsoft Word 2003 Forum

Office 2003 installed fine in a winxp bottle and I did a "Complete Install" so it got all of the components. If I look at documents created with the Elegant template, or try to create a new document using the Elegant Report (e.g., Garamond font, bulleted and numbered lists, etc.), the bullets show up as outlines of 3.5 inch floppy disks or other very strange things. Is there something else that needs to be installed in this bottle (right now it is just Office 2003) in order to get the right fonts to show up? Is this a Mac-only thing?

I experienced a similar problem when using Word 2003 with CX 6.1.0 under SUSE Linux 10.0. Some of the major bullet icons (even of existing documents) were weird. I didn't have this problem with Word 2000 with CX 5.0.1.

I figured out that this problem is caused by font issues. The truetype font symbol.ttf is missing. I got this problem solved completely by simply copying a valid "symbol.ttf" to my /.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/windows/fonts/ folder.

Hope this helps!
