CAUSE:
Registry Keys for Fonts don't exist or permissions to use Registry Keys for Fonts are insufficient.
FIX:
If you are making changes to the FONTS section of the Progress Registry key it may be prudent to modify not only the entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PSC but also under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PSC since HKEY_CURRENT_USER is valid only for a specific login.
It may also be necessary to verify with regedt32.exe that all users who need to use Progress have rights to touch the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry keys.
The default order of precedence Progress uses when starting up to get its basic configuration data for the client is to:
1) Look into the Icon Properties to see if there is a reference -basekey INI
which is an override parameter telling the Progress client not to use the registry.
2) If there is no mention of the -basekey INI parameter in the startup command/icon then look in the registry in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PSC\<progress version>
3) If there is a permission problem reading the key listed above or if the key isn't there then look in the registry in the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PSC\<progress version>
