Has the font problem already been solved?

Question

Is there a new solution for the well known "Times New Roman"
problem (fonts shifting into this style when compiling) ? The long
discussion with 120 contributions did not contain a solution for
me: I uninstalled all security updates of the last few months that
could have caused the problem, even more, one by one, I downloaded
the dll file from the Adobe homepage but nothing changed.
For instance, I applied a radical solution, because I
couldn't continue to work under these conditions:
I deleted all Times New Roman fonts from my windows system,
RoboHelp has now no chance to convert my fonts into Times. But that
can't really be a definite solution, can it?

Answer 1

I'm using Office 2003. My collegue working with office 2000
never had those problems.
I have a large number of projects, most of them already
existed when we used RoboHelp 4 and older versions of MS Office.
Old an new projects show the same problems: imported ones,
documents written by myself in an new project, texts I copied......
I installed a test version of RH 6 and restored my Times N.R.
font in my windows registry... also with RH6 the font is converted
(in the preview and after compilation). The signs (-"(...) appear
all right with times new Roman. When I delete Times New Roman,
Arial is taken but instead of the signs I only have the large
vertical bars.
What I don't understand: MS updates seemed to cause it, but
uninstalling the updates doesn't change anything.
I think I'll format my whole machine, reinstall Windows and
return to Office 2000, then reinstall RH.
And never ever execute a Security update!!!!
