I have found on some PC's running Windows 2000 that a barcode font (installed in the font directory) is subistuted with another font. Other PC's load and run ok. This occures with Crystal Reports and Access 97 Reports. I have not found a knowledge database with a problem description for this problem.

Does anyone have a solutions?

Thanks

I'm not sure what this would be unless it's related to a printer driver either being different or not existing on the failing clients.

I'll add that when I open the Access 97 Database reports in design mode, the properity for the field using the barcode font showes the correct font name. The preview of the report for that field shows a subistuted font. I change the font for the field and then change it font back to the barcode font and then report works. The main problem with access is that any time I make a change to the code and copy the database to the users PC's is the report papers size changes (the users have different a printer than me) and then the font can't be used.

I know this is posted in Crystal Reports but I have converted this portions of the Access to Visual Basic and Crystal Reports.
