Very strange!! Want to Advertise Here? Solved Font initialization error! Very strange!! Posted on 2005-12-13 Fonts-Typography MS Access 3 Verified Solutions 21 Comments 2,956 Views Last Modified: 2013-12-03 We have an Access 2003 application with several reports. One of the reports is complex with 10 sub-reports, each of which is printed conditionally based on user selection. This report has been working just fine for 3 months on 20 users' PC's all running Windows XP SP2. Two days ago one of the users told us that this one report was failing with an error: "Font Initialization Error." The only option on the message box shown is "OK." Soon after, 2 other users also had the same problem. And today a fourth. However, most other PC's are not having this problem. Our sysadmin maintains all systems to the same software level. In fact, nearly all the systems are physically identical. The four PC's that have the problem are hardware- and software-identical to several systems that do not have the problem. The sysadmin has done these things: reinstalled printer drivers, reinstalled all fonts, updated all software to be sure it is current with all patches. No help, the problem still remained. Further, he set up a brand new system with a new install of XP SP2. The problem showed up there. We tried printing to different printers, and get the same error. Also when we just print to a PDF writer. These two facts seem to argue that it could not be a printer driver. Further: I had previously copied each subreport as an individual report which can be invoked separately. When I did so, the error didn't occur. So that seems to rule out the possibility that there is a font not loaded or corrupted. Besides, the only fonts used are Arial, MS Sans Serif and Tahoma. Very standard stuff. The first time the app is brought up and this report is run, it cranks for a while and then the error box displays. When the OK box is clicked, the error message reappears. This happens 3 times and then the app returns to the menu, having killed the report process. If the report is then selected again the error message appears immediately. I set Acces

Hi..I have a report with 6 sub reports, each subreport contains a tab control with 200 individual calculations...probably not the best way to do this I am sure..each subreport calculates correctly and when I bring them together on the main report I can see all the calculations https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21663918/Font-initialization-error-Very-strange.html on screen correctly but when I come to print or pdf the report i get 'font initialization error' I suspect it is due to the size of the report rather than a font problem ?? would anyone have any idea what this means ... very Fi Last edited by fibayne; 05-11-2009 at 01:24 PM.

It may also be the tab control. AFAIK, the tab control in not design for printing. Why are you using a tab control? __________________ Boyd Trimmell Specializing in Accounting, CRM, and Business solutions Microsoft Access MVP 2010-2015 , aka To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Hi..I used a tab control to do the various types calculations, essentially to make it easier to read in design view, the tab control itself is not visible for printing just the consolidated calculation needed for the end of each of the 10 years...bad idea ??? fibayne View Public Profile Find More Posts by fibayne 05-12-2009, 01:44 PM #4 fibayne Newly Regis
go try for yourself. Take a look in the Fonts folder of the system. Are there more than 50 fonts in there? If yes, then you need to delete all the http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/font-initialization-error-solution.2293841/ fonts that are not needed. I use Font Frenzy and it will remove all http://www.solvusoft.com/en/errors/runtime-errors/microsoft-corporation/microsoft-access/2277-there-was-a-font-initialization-error/ un-needed fonts and leave you with the Windows Base Fonts that are required. Reboot your system and start Access. Access will go through the standard "new setup stuff" when its done you should be able to print. My expereince is that Windows will start and load every installed font into memory, then when you start Access, ms access it loads every font back into memory a second time. Too many fonts and not enough resources. Jason Shannon , Dec 16, 2005 #1 Advertisements Show Ignored Content Want to reply to this thread or ask your own question?
