Default Distorted Arial font in enhanced metafiles

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.


Were they able to repro your observation? With a simple Excel Chart (as
a matter of habit, inserted as a new Sheet), copy/pasted (special) as
EMF, I don't see any font troubles.
