Notes:
I also recently pruned some fonts and discovered that Hallmark Card Studio, and Creatacard gold 2 were badly affected. I knew about the SWA and Swiss 721 fonts being needed by Event Minder, but once I had re- installed Hallmark Card Studio, a before and after comparison revealed the missing fonts to have been from the following groups:
AD lib BT
Balloon
Bauer bodoni
Dom Casual Bt
Futura range
Goudy range
Poster bodoni
Further selective deleting by some dedicated individual will no doubt narrow down the culprit(s)! By the way one or more of the above is also needed by Corel Print Shop Magic, as it was also affected. Mary Haggie
