Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • You have an .rtf file that contains both a font that has a long font name in the Font table and an alternative font that is specified in the Font table.
  • You run an application that uses the RichTextBox control that is provided by Msftedit.dll to open the .rtf file. For example, you run WordPad to open the .rtf file.
In this scenario, the application cannot display the .rtf file correctly.

Note To create a sample test file, paste the following lines in Notepad, and then save the file as an .rtf file.
