XP SP3 Font Problem with Word Art

Since installing service pack 3 the Arial Black font used with Word Art has
changed.

It now appears in an italics form and can't be toggled back to normal i.e.
it is only available as an italic.

I designed the menus for my website using Word Art within Front Page and
with the font set to normal (I don't want it as italics).

The Arial Black font when applied to normal text (i.e. not Word Art) still
has normal and italic toggle options as before so it appears to be a change
within Word Art only.

Would appreciate any help to fix or understand this. Will other users with
SP3 see the italics form as well or do I have a problem specific to my PC?

Thanks.

Same problem here, after installing SP3.
Not so much with Word Art (do not use that) but with any HTML doc. The only
way to overcome this is to set a font-weight of 800 or higher in the CSS
stylesheet. Amazing ...

Lupercus.
