The Scripts font does not appear in Word but it does in Excel. I read an
earlier posting regarding the same situation with a Courier font. The answer
to that was that Word only displays printable fonts. If applied to text in
Excel, the Scripts font prints beautifully.

A secondary question then is, where do these applications look for their
Fonts lists?

Word and Excel handle fonts differently.

Go to Start Control Panel Fonts to see what fonts are installed on your
computer. These are normally, but not necessarily, stored in C
:\Windows\Fonts (and any font file added to this folder is available to any
application). Applications look for the font list in the registry: My
Computer\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.

I neglected to mention that yes, I did check first that the Scripts font was
installed on my computer. That is why I do not understand why it is not
available in Word. It is both in Control Panel\Fonts and Windows\Fonts. I
do not have the Current Version\Fonts, but then again, we do not run Windows
NT here.

A font is not available in Word if it is not a usable printer font.

The list of fonts is in your registry somewhere -- do a search for a
recognised font name.
