Why is Access substituting my fonts
I have some Access forms and now on some machines forms with the font Calibri is being substituted with a font called Time New Roman (detail). The Calibri font is still on my machine and I don't know what has caused this, but it is a definite problem and I need a resolution.

My guess is that another user is opening the form and doesn't have Calibri so it's being substituted and it's saving with what they used. Microsoft is notorious for this, I believe Word uses the next font available Alphabetically if the user's machine doesn't have what is specified.

No. The database is compiled on workstations that have the Calibri font and on workstations that are substituting the font, I looked and they have Calibri.
Does this happen on all machines, or only on a few?
If it happens on all machines, then you may have a corrupt database. To try and fix that, create a new, blank database and import everything into that new database, then deploy that new database.
If it only happens on one machine, you may have some issues with Office or Windows. Be sure both are fully up to date. Sometimes a repair/reinstall of Office is needed for issues like this.

I found what is causing the formatting change even though I never found out the reason all of this started all of sudden.
