Word2007 not showing font right. CorelX3 does. New Vista machine.
I've been using MSWord 2007/Viista for a few weeks (previously Word2k/Win2k).
Opened an old document that used special font. The font IS installed on the new machine as Corel X3 picks it up fine. It is a TTF not an OTF, MS word does not. It is in the list of fonts. but previews wrong in that drop-down box and in the document itself - it seems to be substituting the font for another. Ideas of how to get my font? |

Word2007 not showing font right. CorelX3 does. New Vista machi
Thanks for the suggestion, it was certainly needed! I looked there, but the
only font cited as missing is Gill sans, and it is using True-type Gil sans instead - which sounds pretty innocuous/OK to me. Any other ideas, anyone?

So long as your printer isn't set to something like "Generic text" I have no
other good ideas right now. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Windbag" wrote in message ... Thanks for the suggestion, it was certainly needed!

Thanks for plugging away, Peter.
The printer is working fine - it is what is on screen that is the problem - I never get to see my font even there, let alone hard copy.... Anyone else any ideas?

What Peter was trying to convey is that Word will only display the fonts
that the currently active printer driver is capable of printing. Whether the printer that is physically connected to your PC works or not is irrelevant. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Windbag wrote: Thanks for plugging away, Peter.
