Calibri Font
Is there anywhere that one can download the new Word 2007 default font,
(Calibri), to use in earlier versions of Word? Thanks in advance, Robin McInnes Cheshire, UK -Si non confectus, non reficiat- |

Calibri was designed by Lucas de Groot, a Dutch type designer who heads Fontfabrik -- http://www.fontfabrik.com/index.html. If you go to that website, you're directed to LucasFont to buy Fontabrik fonts -- http://www.lucasfonts.com/index_neu.html But Calibri is not listed, making me think that it was designed for Microsoft and not commercially available except with their software (just a guess). Google hard enough and you can find them, but be aware that they are probably not a legal download. Don |

I believe the new fonts are in the office compatibility pack (a large
file!!!) http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...A/O2007Cnv.exe though I have not checked. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Robin McInnes wrote: Is there anywhere that one can download the new Word 2007 default font, (Calibri), to use in earlier versions of Word?

(I'm not entirely certain what knock-on effect there will be as regards file formats etc now that I've installed it.) And, yes, it WAS a large file.

You can uninstall it now - the fonts should be left behind

If they are freely available from Microsoft, perhaps it's fine to distribute them separately. If you think it's appropriate, I'll post the link, but I'd prefer hearing from someone in power first. :-) Don |

Hi Don,
The newsgroups are generally peer support. Basically the license agreements for the specific versions and products would be that you can redistribute the compatibility pack as a package but not 'pieces' of it individually. There should be a license agreement that shows up when you install it that you're asked to agree to. If the 'source' you found is a Microsoft site rather than someone's posting of Microsoft owned/licensed content you would probably be okay to go with that =========== "Don Ellis" wrote in message ...

I thought as much, which is why I didn't post the link .. But thanks to this thread, I downloaded the full compatibility pack and will make it available to my colleagues so the Calibri in my documents remains Calibri no matter what version of Word they're using. Franky, that font is worth half the upgrade. Cheers, Don |
