How do I resolve INTERNAL SELF-TEST ERROR: WinFont|c| errors in Mathematica 6.0?

Most often, this is resolved by rebooting the machine to rebuild certain startup files from default values.

If, after the reboot, you are still getting error messages, please consider reinstalling the fonts according to the following instructions.

Font Reinstallation:
1.

Open the Fonts control panel by clicking Start > Control Panel > Fonts.

2.

Delete the fonts with names like Mathematica1 or Mathematica3-Bold.

 

After deleting the fonts, click View > Refresh. If any of the Mathematica fonts reappear, delete them.

3.

Reboot your computer and verify that the Mathematica fonts are not there.

4.

Now reinstall the Mathematica fonts by clicking File > Install New Font. Use the dialog box to locate the Mathematica fonts, typically in C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\6.0\SystemFiles\Fonts\TrueType\.

5.

Click Select All.

6.

Click OK.

If the Mathematica installation appeared to be successful, but the error prevented you from entering the password information, you can start the Mathematica kernel to enter the password. To launch the kernel, click Start > Programs > Wofram Mathematica > Mathematica 6 Kernel.

If these suggestions do not help, please contact Wolfram Technical Support. Please be sure to include the operating system, OS version, and CPU type.
