I have received the font - and replied. For the benefit of those watching,
who might be able to cast more light in the subject, the font displays
correctly as a truetype font in the font viewer and is listed in the fonts
list for both Word 2003 and 2007, however it does not display correctly in
that an alternative font is substituted (several printer drivers tried) and
the same font is sent to the printer.

The font displays correctly in other applications.

I am totally baffled - this does not fit the standard problem area that I
was trying to get over earlier, which is why we were for a while on
different wavelengths. I hope that others may have some ideas, to which end
I have cross posted to the printingfonts forum.

Some thoughts:

What are the NAMEs of the font, as seen with FontLab or Fontographer
or anything else that can display all of the internal names? Are they
internally consistent and do they possibly conflict with some other
font? And what is the font

What program was used to create the font? For instance, with
TheFontCreator it's very awkward to properly load a font's tables.

Was the font created by opening some other font to use as a template
(it might have some built-in artifacts that are confusing something)?

What is the font that is substituted (I gather that the substitution
occurs in Word both on-screen and when printed)?

Does the Microsoft Font Validator indicate any unusual errors (Almost
EVERY font will display many "fatal" errors, so it takes some
experience to determine which are unusual!)
