MTA:SA fix

MTA cannot find required Windows fonts

Read which font MTA says is missing, then put that one font back.

Steps

1. Read which font is missing

   Use the font name in your own error. MTA’s guide lists Tahoma, Tahoma Bold, Arial and Microsoft Sans Serif among the Windows fonts it needs.

2. Get that font from a trusted source

   Open the official MTA font guide. If it links a download for the font you are missing, use it. If not, restore the font from your genuine Windows source or through your PC’s support.

   Careful: Do not install a font pack that has nothing to do with this, and do not overwrite every system font.

3. Install the font and restart MTA

   If you trust the font file, open it in Windows and choose Install, then restart the game. If the same font is still missing, keep its exact file name for when you contact support.
