Missing Fonts in Word

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;169330

If you set a “generic text” printer as your default, all your fonts disappear. Some docs that were saved in other fonts will look correct, others will be all screwed up as the text gets squeezed into Device Font of either 4, 8, 12, or 24 pt.

After repairing, removing, and reinstalling office, I finally remembered what I do in these kinds of situations, and googled it. Set the new default printer and now users’ guide doc no longer looks like my computer puked on it.

As much as I’m one to stand by the big corporations… I hate you, M$. I hate you so much.
