Fonts are in Fonts folder, lost to Word & Access
When I go to use Word, or to print a report via Access, I don't get Arial and
Old English fonts. Word only displays New Times Roman in the Fonts box, the drop-down list doesn't drop down. Reports come out in some fixed font from Access. I have uninstalled/reinstalled MS OfficeXP and Publisher. I have copied the fonts from Windows\Fonts to c:\temp, then deleted them from Windows\Fonts, and reinstalled them from c:\temp. Nothing works. I saw prior correspondence on how to reinstall, stating one should get Fonts from Windows XP Install CD. My machine came without CDs, but has Windows Install somewhere within 10G's that I can't get at. I do have 7 "System Recovery" CDs with helpful labels reading "WinXP Home Edition disc1 [thru 7] " , but I suspect that if I put them in my CD reader, all I could do with them is destroy myself. Could someone please point me to the answer to the question "How can I restore my fonts?" Thanks in advance, -- Gordon Jones |

Two things to try:
1. In Word, click on Tools | Options | Print | uncheck the "Draft output" box | OK. 2. In Windows, click on Start | Control Panel | Printers. If the default printer is None, Fax, or Generic/Text Only, then select a default printer that is capable of printing fonts, and you will see more font choices in Word.

It was the default printer that fixed it. I had been coaching one of my
users on how to install the generic/text printer for an older app that used fixed-font print. Thanks a bunch. I can stop pulling out my hair. -- Gordon Jones "garfield-n-odie" wrote: Two things to try: 1. In Word, click on Tools | Options | Print | uncheck the "Draft output" box | OK. 2.

Your solution fixed my problem too! I had uninstalled my default printer and
hadn't selected another one. Thanks so much! "Gordon Jones" wrote: It was the default printer that fixed it.
