Why is the Scripts font not available in Word?
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? |

Why is the Scripts font not available in Word?
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. "Lynn" wrote in message ...

Why is the Scripts font not available in Word?
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. "Jezebel" wrote: Word and Excel handle fonts differently.

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. "Lynn" wrote in message ...
