A. This may be because your computer does not have the DictBats font installed; this usually comes as standard with the OALD7 CD-ROM. Following the below insructions should solve your problem: • Download the DictBats font • Move the DictBats.ttf file to your Desktop, so that you have easy access to it. • Go to ‘Start’ and then ‘Run’. • Type %windir%\fonts and then click OK. • The ‘Fonts’ folder will appear. Drag and drop the DictBats.ttf file from your Desktop into the ‘Fonts’ folder. It should install itself automatically. • Restart your computer; OALD7 should now function correctly.
