arial.ndx missing

[jruffsr]

I have a user that has tried to modify cosmetic text on a sheetmetal
part. The desired font is a true type font arial. When he finishes he
gets an error arial.ndx not found. It is my understanding that true
type fonts do not have ndx files, is this true? All other identified
fonts [standard such as isofont, and other true type font] cause the
same error [no XXXX.ndx found] only a font called font does not give
any errors. I am new at admin and inherited this configuration, can any
one educate me on font definitions and where I can start to look for
the solution? I did find reference to arial in default.dtl, is
this my problem?

Thanks
