I got calls from 3 of the DRAW users that some of the fonts are not displaying correctly since they have updated their Windows today. I have not yet connected my laptop to internet. Shall check it and try to identify the culprit update. Any light on this is appreciated.
Few fonts known for not displaying correctly since today
Diavlo_MEDIUM_II_37.otf and its family with light, black etc.Myriaid PRO
I'm using CorelDraw X3 and ALL of my Type1-Fonts are no longer displayed after this Update.The affected Microsoft-Update on my Windows 7 x64 system is KB2753842.

Thank you for checking this out. Uninstalling KB2753842 brings Draw back to normal. Of course, Windows Update wants to re-install it. I set it to manual installation, but this is no solution, it is a security update, classified "important".

In Windows Update you can right-click on an update and choose "Don't show me this update again" and it will not be offered to you again. There is always the option to "Show Me Hidden Updates" if you later decide you want to download it.

Yep, I can confirm this as well. Uninstalled and fonts are displaying properly again.
This effected 32 Bit XP as well. I was pulling my hair out until I cam across this... THANKS!!!!
KB 2753842. I can confirm this as well for Windows 7 32 bit. Thanks everyone. We'll need to keep bumping this to keep it at the top for a few days I suppose.
thank you SO much for posting this. I too was pulling my hair out trying to figure out the issue with my corel. It was extremely frustrating and cost me a full days worth of work!!
Oh and what's with Microsoft releasing such a crap update?! Don't they test this stuff?
The Microsoft now has a page up on this....might want to go and cast your vote towards this issue.
