Estrangelo Edessa Font Unavailable?
I found suddenly that the EE font is non functional using Word 2003, either
to create new text or in trying to read a previously created document. Character position, spacing, etc. is there, but all characters are uniformly displayed by open boxes. The same is true if I open the EE font file: no characters, just boxes. Other fonts seem to be OK (though I've not checked all of them). The font name is listed in the font drop-down list (including recently used fonts), but is displayed in a simple small square type that I believe is different from what it had been before. Any ideas on what's happened, or on how to recover the font? -- DCM |

It could be the font is missing or corrupt. Try installing the font again,
(using the Fonts folder in your Control Panel, click File/Install New Font) and see if that resolves it. You should be able to find the font on the Office installation CD.

Beth,
My Word/Office software came preloaded on a Dell machine. A Dell technician was stumped by the problem last night, except to suggest resetting the system to its default settings (which I've not done). I was told that I could NOT load/install an individual font from the backup system CD which came with the system. Is there an on-line source for an individual font via Microsoft?? -- DCM "Beth Melton" wrote: It could be the font is missing or corrupt.

I don't know of a Microsoft source for downloading fonts but I'd try
searching for the font online and see if you can find one to download before wiping everything- that's pretty drastic for just a font! Here's a Google search with several results, take your pick: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...dessa+download btw, your experience is exactly why I'll never purchase OEM (preinstalled) software, you definitely get what you pay for. :-( Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

That font came with Windows XP according to
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...sa&FVER=1.0 0. Maybe if you posted your question in a Windows newsgroup, someone could help you.
