Help : Font Deserialization Failed! Marc Miller

sql server reporting services:
Help! I have a project that has been completed and tested fully and today
I was ready to move it to production. When I tried to open it,
I received the error:
Microsoft Development Environment is unable to load this document.
Deserialization Failed: Font 'Arial' doesn't support style 'Regular.'

I restored the .rdl from a backup, but got the same error.
Whats going on here? Is there any way to recover it? I opened the
..rdl with notepad and searched for the strings 'Arial' and 'Regular'
and neither turned up.

TIA,
Marc Miller

I really need some help on this.....my report development has stopped.


Additional Info:
I just tried creating a new report project and when I tried adding
a table to the layout I got the same error:

Font 'Arial' doesn't support style 'Regular'

The only this different since I created my last reports was that I
installed SQL Server SP3 on both my SQL Server 2000 and Analysis
Services (locally).

FYI..

After uninstalling reporting services and re-installing I finally discovered
that my Arial font had become corrupted. I re-installed the font
and the error disappeared.

I don't know if the sp3 for SQL Server and Analysis Services corrupted the
font, but it remains suspect.
