    Missing MS Sans Serif font


    I have a program (Articulate Storyline) that warns me everytime it opens that I'm missing the font MS Sans Serif. I checked my Windows fonts (using through Parallels on my Mac) and don't see the font. Is this a font that is supposed to come with Windows? How can I get it? Thank you!

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Creators Update - Ms Sans Serif and MS Serif not showing greek char

    Here is the second part of my tutorial on fixing MS Sans Serif font corruption due to the Creator Edition Update.

    Unfortunately the registry fix I mentioned does not fix up all the programs using MS Sans Serif. There is another way to fix the fonts directly in the "exe" code of a program.

    Instructions:

    • Download "Resource Hacker" Resource Hacker and install it.
    • Backup your "exe" file before editing it.
    • Open your "exe" file with Resource Hacker and search for all occurrences of "MS Sans Serif" (use the Search menu, and F3 for search next).
    • Replace "MS Sans Serif" with "Arial" wherever it appears. (If there are a lot of dialog resources to fix, I suggest creating a temporary text file, type the with word "Arial". Copy "Arial" to the clipboard by copying it, then use the paste
      tool in the "Resource Hacker" program to paste "Arial" wherever "MS Sans Serif" was found.)
    • Compile each font edit (use the "Compile" button).
    • Save your "exe" code (you might need to save it in a different directory and then copy it back to the program directory).

    This method was able to make one of my installed commercial program usable again. I suspect this will work for any program that resists the registry fix.

  3. MS SANS SERIF GREEK

    FYI The latest Windows Updates on Windows 10 Creators Update will cause more problems with font display in Greek Language.

    Currently affected fonts are:

    Courier

    MS Sans Serif

    MS Serif

    Small Fonts

    System

    We are working together with Dkonstantinidis for a workaround or solution until Microsoft provides a fix.
