Problems with font Arial fat / Arial fat italic

[osoeder]

If I mark a word and set it to "Arial" and chose "bold" it always
appears as bold AND italic.

I went to c:\winnt\fonts directory and renamed arialbi.ttf to
arialii.ttf, copied arialb.ttf to arialbi.ttf, now fonts are showed in
a right way.

But now it is no longer possible to use bold and italic, as it will be
shown in another font, which looks like Mangal or Tahoma. It is neigher
fat nor italic.

How can I control this behaviour? Where can I tell windows to use
arialb.ttf instead of arialti.ttf?
This problem only appears with Arial.

Arial.ttf is normal Arial
ArialBD.ttf is bold,
Ariali.ttf is italic,
ArialBI.ttf is bold italic.

You need to replace what you have with the correct ones.

The fonts have been there in the way you described, but the problem
occures if it is like that.

Windows always uses ArialBI.ttf instead of ArialBD.ttf. So I needed to
replace ArialBI.ttf to be able to use bold only Arial fonts.

It would be better to figure out what's broken instead of trying to find a
way to work around it. The problem you describe does not happen on my
system. In which application do you see this problem?

I see this problem in Word and all the other Office applications.

Please quote at least part of the message to which you're replying to
retain the context. Does this occur only in Office programs, or does it
happen elsewhere as well? Does Wordpad have the same problem? How about
Notepad? If Wordpad has the same symptom, then it's probably a Windows
problem. If it doesn't, it's most likely an Office problem, and the
people in one of the Office groups will probably be able to help. I's
suggest microsoft.public.office.misc.

I tried it again today: error does no longer occure.

But it occured in the whole system.

Now my fonts are like that:
renamed arialbi.ttf to arialii.ttf

but it is possible to use bold and italic.
