Default Can't replace DBCS with SBCS font - error

The MT, in this case, stands for Monotype, the source of the font. The first
approximation of a fix is to copy the font file from the old PC to the new
and install it.

Let us know.

I got a reply from my friend at Design Science, and he says it's *not*
MathType-related (that was a long shot based on the MT). Since he mentioned
that he didn't even know what DBCS and SBCS meant, I did some poking around
to find out a little more about double-byte and single-byte character sets
(DBCS and SBCS) and found the article at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...63(VS.85).aspx, to which I
referred him. I don't know whether it will offer anything that might be
helpful in your case, but perhaps it would be a start. I suspect, though,
that the bottom line is going to be that you're going to have to replace
the symbols one by one.

FWIW, if you post to the NGs with an NNTP newsreader (see
http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm), it's a lot easier to find all the MS
newsgroups, but if you must post through the Web interface, you can find a
complete list (in alphabetical order) at
http://www.microsoft.com/communities.../default.aspx;
there's also a list by application, broken down first by language, at
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Thanks Suzanne, I didn't see a link to the printingfonts group, or I
would
have posted it there. Believe me, that is what I've been looking for!
I've
been trying to resolve the issue for several weeks now. Finally this
week, I
started posting it on any possible applicable group, hoping someone like
you
would respond.

So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I see you've posted this in more than one newsgroup but not in the one
that
is most appropriate, to which I am cross-posting this. I've also
forwarded
it to a contact at Design Science, as it appears it may be a MathType
issue.

Been working to track down a problem with symbols not displaying
properly
in
an engineer's Word document, from one computer to another.

This paper was emailed to my boss from one of his former grad
students.
The
original version received on his old computer displays the characters
properly.

Then we got him a new computer, and SOME of the symbols are no longer
displaying properly.

Have check to see that all fonts are the same on both computers.
(They
are)
Have checked Regional and Language Settings. (Same)

Have checked Tools / Options / Compatability / Font Substitutions -
trying
to change the substition for the symbol font "SymbolMT" gives the
error
"Can't replace DBCS with SBCS font"

I have Googled this phrase and find several discussions about it, but
no
solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Debi
