It appears we've solved the print problem for now but are still having a problem with the fonts occationally coming up on the screen as gibberish. We've upgraded all the NT clients from version 4.1v1 to 4.1v3 and the Mac server to 3.0v3. The screen fonts being used on the NT clients are Times New Roman and Arial. Do you think changing the Arial font to MS sans-serif might help?

We're currently doing the upgrades. I'll post if that seems to fix the problems. I've been told that there are some Macs that access this database and they've never had problems with the fonts. What I don't understand is why the problem is intermittent. Much of the time there are no problems. Also, the print problems don't seem to correspond with the on screen font problems. Sometimes field contents will duplicate in another field.

We're running FileMaker Pro 3.0v1 server on a Mac G3, OS 8.6 but all the clients (about 25) are Windows NT 4 running FileMaker Pro 4.1v1. We're having an intermittent problem with the fonts, most of the time they look fine but sometimes (usually but not always) by the end of the day, the fonts have just turned to random characters. Closing the program and re-opening solves the problem. Also, when printing a page, the top portion of the page will print fine but at some point in the document, the fonts in the field go to the same type of random characters (not the field names though). Again, this is an intermittent problem. Any clue as to how to prevent these problems?
