Default Distorted Arial font in enhanced metafiles


Product: Microsoft Office 2003 SP1

Hi,

I've created charts in Excel using Arial 8pt and would like to paste as an
enhanced metafile into a Word document. When I do this, the font is
distorted in the picture that is pasted into Word (never seen that before!).
In fact, most fonts that I have tried have been distorted.

I called Microsoft technical assistance and all that they could recommend
was to recreate the chart as an embedded object in word. That's not the
ideal situation.

I've even tried saving the chart as a PDF (press quality) and then saving
that PDF file as a JPG (maximum quality) or PNG for insertion into Word...
and the end result was undesirable to say the least.

It's not so bad using Arial MT, but I would prefer to stick with Arial.

Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.

Van
