Missing fonts on new equipment?
I did a search here on this problem, and my new HP printer is set as the
default printer. I also have a new HP windows 7 machine and a new copy of office 2007 just installed. But now I'm missing several of my favorite faunts that came with the old office 2007 software I was using. I was noticing some fonts disappearing even from the old software and machine I had, but I assumed all new equipment would solve this problem? I needed to upgrade my equipment as it was several years old and starting to give me problems. |

Missing fonts on new equipment?
Fonts are installed not just by Windows, Office, and your printer but also
by practically every other application you install. If you're missing favorite fonts, then you can check http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/ to see whether they really came with a specific Microsoft product. If so, you may need to run an "Add Components" install to add fonts that are not installed by default. If not, consider what other applications you may have had installed on a previous system that may have contributed fonts. If you still have the old system, you can copy fonts from the Fonts folder to a flash drive and install them on the new machine. -- Suzanne S.

Just to make sure I'm clear, your saying that other programs can add or delete fonts from the word font list? |

There is a folder at C:\Windows\Fonts that contains all the fonts installed by all programs (Windows, Office, and any other program, or any you download or install individually). All of those fonts (with a few exceptions) will appear in Word's list. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Just to make sure I'm clear, your saying that other programs can add or delete fonts from the word font list?- No, she's saying that Word (Office) and Windows are not the only sources of fonts. (For instance, the music-writing program Finale comes with a bunch of fonts of notes and staffs and clefs and all the other stuff you need to write music, and they're all available in Word, too.) There isn't any "Word font list"; Word lists all the fonts that are in your Windows fonts folder. |
