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 can confirm this font issue also on both 32 bit and 64 bit CorelDRAW X6 versions. I have a screenshot of all Windows Updates that were supposed to be completed on my machines. KB2753842 is in the list...haven't tried to install the rest of the updates but now I will and omit the others.
Glad others are reporting on this issue. Running System Restore will get your machine back to normal as long as you have it running and enough restore points to choose from.
My culprit font was the Birch Standard Open Type font...literally disappeared from my files, that means not visible in outline mode - kapoof! Gone...Also, when typing out a new sentence in that font it would display briefly until I clicked off of it and then it would disappear also.
I have now completed all the rest of the updates in this list and verified both 32bit and 64bit CorelDRAW versions and indeed it is KB2753842 since that was the only update I did not install on either machine.
Boy, am I glad I found this page. This thing was making me bounce off the walls. Now I'm back to work after 4 hours of pointless screwing around. Thanks guys!
How do I remove this update?
The only way I know for sure works, because I did this myself, is to use Windows Restore and roll back to the last restore point before the update. If you have System Restore turned off, then you may wish to try Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates and then highlight the installed update and then uninstall it. I would have personally tried that method first but I chose the easy way out and did a System Restore. If I were you, I'd look in the list of updates and uninstall just that one first and that way if it works then you don't have to reinstall all Windows updates again, unchecking the problematic KB2753842 update.
Also, go to your Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > WIndows Update settings and select Change Settings from the sidebar. From there look for Important Updates and make sure you select Check for updates but let me choose when to install them or just shut them off (Never check for updates) until this gets worked out. It will be up to you to keep checking here until a solution is offered that works and then you can turn them back on.
I can confirm that removing Windows update KB2753842 fixed the issue for me. Fonts appear properly now.
I still have a big problem! My Leitura font series is not showing at all! Need to finish a brochure ASAP! Not sure which update to uninstall. Any advice?
It's KB2753842. Though you could possibly consider using a truetype version instead, if you have it.
it is KB2753842
Just removed it myself and fonts normal again
The fonts seem to be working fine after the removal of the KB2753842. So its confirmed by me also.
but still i have this display issue.
I'll keep on digging and contact with you again.
thank you for your replies.
