Need patch for 65pt OpenType Issue (948941)

P

Pope7

Bottom Line:
I need the patch for the KB948941 issue
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948941). MS no longer provides it (or at
least does not link to it from the KB article). Does anyone have it?

Expanded:
At work we finally decided to scrap all of our templates and rebuild them
from scratch (PowerPoint 2007, Vista). I've rebuild the templates from
scratch. And everything is 99.9% great - except we've run in to the OpenType
issue where fonts above 65pt aren't rendered correctly. The font doesn't
render appropriately on ANY pc we've tested, and all of the machines are
fully updated (except for this mythical missing hotfix).

I thought maybe MS had thrown the hotfix in to an overall update for
PowerPoint, but they haven't. And if they did, then we've found out how to
still create the problem.

If I click "view and request hotfix downloads" on that 948941 KB link below,
I'm taken to the page where I can request what looks like SP2 for Office
2007. But the file name is actually officekb948941fullfilex886glb, so I
think it's the right hotfix. Have you tried that?

(I know I missed the request hotfix link at the top of the KB article last
time I needed one, so I figured I'd better toss it out there just in
case....)

It's still there at the top of the page but they make you jump thru some
hoops to get it. At the top (next to the hammer and wrench icon) click on the
link that says "View and request hotfix downloads". You give them your email
then they send you a link to it. If this doesn't work for you re-post here
and I'll get it to you.

God I feel stupid.

I'm used to the links being about half way down and at the middle. I never
even saw the link. Well, at least nothing important in life will be
determined from my posting of this.

Humbled,

No need to feel stupid when they put "War and Peace" on a page and expect you
to find the one phrase that anyone cares about. Glad to help. Cheers.

What Amy said. Don't feel stupid -- I completely missed that "request link"
the last time I needed a hotfix, too! They rearranged the page and although
you'd think being at the top would be obvious, it sure wasn't to me, either!
