David : That isn't the problem. The issue either is my "new" ( reconditioned ) HP computer or it is Microsoft. Can eliminate Microsoft if you can try a little experiment -- presuming your computer is not an HP. Hopefully this is OK with you. Try to type something --anything-- using Arial Black font. I can only get Arial Black italic. The standard font won't appear. that's why I downloaded Arena Black --which does not register with HP , unless it is Microsoft that is the problem. Ernie sent me a screen shot and Arena shows up as ordinary Ariel. Arena Black is looks exactly like Arial Black standard but is "read" by the computer as a wholly different font.
Anyway, if you CAN get Arial Black to appear, standard vertical, NOT on an angle / italics, then I will know for sure the problem is HP. I've been using Arial Black standard for years as my basic headline font Now all I can get is Arial black italic. Doesn't seem to be a problem with any other fonts. If you do get Arial Black standard, vertical, no slant, could you please send ? A short note -"this is Arial Black standard" and I would know that you sent it in that form. The text can be anything, such as ABCDEFG. Arial Black is its own font, it is NOT the same as the other Arial style fonts, it is headline in style, bold black letters. I spent maybe 1 -1/2 hours looking for Arial Black standard to download and could not find it anywhere. Found lots of other fonts, but not that one.

David _ "There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head."--P. J.

I had to add a substitute for Arial Black because, with my new HP computer Arial Black only comes in italic style. No idea what idiot thought up this lunacy. Maybe he or she thought it was cute to make Arial Black available only in italic. Or : so what if a very standard and useful font is screwed up because who cares about fonts anyway ? Anyway, it is possible to find exactly the same font as Arial Black but it is called "Arena" with another font foundry. Works just fine. But can you read it the way it was actually typed in ? The lower text is a screen shot and is exactly how I typed the text. Are the two texts identical ? Much appreciated if someone will let me know, Thanks Billy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Radical Centrism 2011 USA -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
