Divide By Zero Errors - #4207

            Divide by Zero error messages are most often caused by a
            corrupt or poorly designed font.

            Corel VENTURA creates a font width table according to the
            font metrics of your system as seen by the default
            printer. The overall operating conditions of the program
            can be affected if one or more of the fonts detected by
            the width table are either corrupt or poorly designed.
            While building the width table, if Corel VENTURA
            encounters an invalid font metric or a corrupt font, a
            Divide by Zero error can occur.

            Note: For detailed information about width tables, look
            in your Corel VENTURA Reference Manual starting on page
            5-15, or request document # 4208.

            If the Divide by Zero error occurred during the building
            of a width table, it is necessary to determine which
            font(s) caused the error, remove it from the system and
            either re-install it, in the case of corruption, or take
            it off the system to avoid future incompatibilities, in
            the case of poorly designed fonts.

            Since Corel VENTURA evaluates all fonts registered on a
            system, some third party fonts, their technologies or
            fonts provided as downloadable for printers etc., may be
            problematic.

            To view the fonts installed on your system simply go to
            the Windows Control Panel for True Type fonts or to the
            Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Type 1 fonts. Please refer
            to your MS Windows User Guide and/or your Adobe Type
            Manager User Guide for instructions on managing fonts on
            your system. Unless you have an idea of which font(s) may
            be bad, use the process of elimination to identify the
            font(s) causing the error. Both the Control Panel and ATM
            have the ability to globally disable fonts. This is the
            quickest way of determining which type of font you are
            looking for, True Type or Type 1.

            Another method is to try duplicating the error message by
            rebuilding the width table. As the width table rebuilds,
            each system font's name briefly displays on the screen.
            As each new name appears, it indicates that the fonts
            named previously are alright. If and when the error is
            repeated, note the last font name displayed. This gives
            you a good indication as to where to begin searching.

            After you have located and removed or reinstalled the
            offending font(s), restart Windows for the changes to
            take effect.

            If after following these suggestions the problem still
            persists, contact Corel Technical Support.
