my installed "open type" font does not display as available
I have an open-type font that is not displaying in the available list of
fonts, in Word, or any of my Office applications. It is installed, and so indicating in the fonts folder. What else must be done? The computer has recently been reconfigured after a crash. All updates are downloaded and installed for all software. |

Word will only display fonts that the current printer driver is capable of
printing. It will not display screen fonts or fonts excluded by the driver settings. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ShastAA wrote: I have an open-type font that is not displaying in the available list of fonts, in Word, or any of my Office applications.

That was the impression I got from the font seller, when choosing between Truetype and open.

my installed "open type" font does not display as available
Similar problem here, but it probably has nothing to do with the printer:
We'd recently purchased the Avenir font family and installed it on systems using Office 2003 (+ Windows XP). The following fonts were installed- Avenir Black, Avenir Book, Avenir Heavy, Avenir Light, Avenir Medium, Avenir Oblique and Avenir Roman. In the Office 2003 programs (Word, PowerPoint, etc), only Avenir Light, Book, Roman and Medium show up, along with the font "styles" of Regular, Italic, Bold, and Medium. At the bottom of the Font menu (in Word), it says "This is a scalable printer font..." In Office 2007, the same 4 show up, but now add support for the Oblique subfamily (and in the Roman font, Heavy and Heavy Oblique are there, plus Medium displays Black and Black oblique - so that covers all of them). So, without saying "just upgrade to Office 2007" or "get the TrueType version instead" is there *any* plug-in or add-in/on solution to get the subfamilies to show up properly in Office 2003?

Paul & Graham,
My Font-seller did reply to me; they were surprised at my trouble and worked the problem at their end. It turns out that the Benguiat Gothic type face (open) installs under a different name in the avalable list, namely 'ITC', or the developer's name, as opposed to the face name as with other type faces. It does function normally in all office applications.

This seems to be true of all ITC fonts.
