Is Tahoma installed on that system? Try to remove/reinstall the font and Acrobat Reader.

I cant find tahoma on my system.where do i install it from.

 

[Lorand]

You can copy it from your laptop.

please tell me where i can find it and how do i install it on the desktop.

 

[Lorand]

On the laptop go to Control Panel / Fonts, search for Tahoma and copy it to a temp folder (copy, not move: click and drag with Ctrl key pressed). Then on the desktop go to Control Panel / Fonts copy it to the desktop, File / Install new font and point to the folder in which that font is.

i just discovered i do have Tahoma &Tahoma Bold on my desktop.what could be the prob now?what do i do?

 

[Lorand]

You can try reinstalling Acrobat Reader on the desktop.
To avoid pdf font problems, in Acrobat Distiller settings check the "Embed all fonts" option and clear the "Never embed" list.

Tahoma font gets installed by default(In the Font Folder) when Windows is installed

Reinstall Windows if the Font has been deleted by mistake

Reinstall Windows??? For a missing font? It would be much ado for nothing...

 

[omsairam]

There may be other fonts unavailabe or other problems at installation...If CD is there then this appears a sure way of setting things right...An install doesnt take more than half an hour
