Disappearing Fonts in Xara Products

[rpc9943]

Hey all,

Just reinstalled xp&d7 because I am having blanked out fonts suddenly just started today.

My font lists are showing and operating properly in all other applications including Photoshop, MS Word.

The only thing I can recall that could be the culprit is windows update. Using Windows Vista.

If anyone can help, please let me know ASAP because I use Xara full time.

Here's what it looks like:

Many, but not all, of the fonts on my system suddenly do not show up in XDPx. My system fonts are available in other programs, Quark, InDesign, Illustrator, etc. I did a system restore to an eariler time, but the fonts are still missing in Xara. I tried to reinstall Xara from my XDPx disks, but no luck since I have 8.1.3 installed, the installer will not let me proceed. Also when I open a job that uses one of the disappearing fonts the text set in that font is gone. Any ideas, how can I reinstall from my XPDx disks or fix this problem. Thanks for your help. Lew.

Did you try uninstalling 8.x before trying to install from your disks?

This issue is affecting a few people so far and appears to be related to a Windows update that many got last night. So far it seems to be affecting those in the US but I have held off on installing the updates just in case. Although the issue has been reported to Xara, you could submit a support ticket and include details of your OS and the Xara software version(s) affected.

Hey! I got that, this morning.
So, I'm not the only one.

Do you still have missing fonts Rik? were you able to fix it? you are the first that I'm aware of outside the US to have problems with this

I didn't read the other thread. While it is likely related to the Windows update, a couple things I notice on my system.

(1) The missing fonts are all OpenType.
(2) XDP X is affected, XDP6 and XDP7 are not.
(3) All other applications I checked are not affected.

Take care, Mike

Try removing update KB2753842
It seems to have fixed the issue for CorelDraw users who have experienced a similar thing over the last hours.
