Fonts are in Windows/Fonts, but not in Word?
I am still on Windows 2000 and am using Word 2000. I can see Brush Script in
the Windows/Fonts and can print it on my printer. However, I cannot see the font in MS Word. Any thoughts? |

Hi ?B?TG92ZSBCdXp6?=,
I am still on Windows 2000 and am using Word 2000. I can see Brush Script in the Windows/Fonts and can print it on my printer. However, I cannot see the font in MS Word. Does it appear in the list in Insert/Symbol? If you need to use it, you should be able to type the name into the font box/list, even if Word doesn't show it (although I admit I find it odd that Word doesn't show it; I can remember that one, from long ago...).

Could it be a PostScript or printer-resident font? These will not be
displayed in Word if the option to "Show only TrueType fonts in the programs on my computer" is selected on the TrueType tab of Folder Options in the Fonts folder. That's the only reason I can think of that it would not be displayed in the font list in Word if the printer can print it (if the printer could not print it, that would be a different but equally interesting issue). -- Suzanne S.

The first HP DeskJet I had (820c) was sold as a "Windows printer." It was
$100 cheaper than the equivalent model that could also print from DOS apps. Since at the time I was using only Windows apps, I thought this would not be a problem. Then I found out that it could print only TrueType fonts--no PostScript. -- Suzanne S.

It's been a while since I owned a DeskJet (645C I think it was).
I used PostScript fonts with ATM with older Windows versions, and later some stripped down ATM was built into the OS, I think. Likely the data was sent to the printer as graphics... Klaus "Suzanne S.

I think even with ATM I couldn't print PostScript to that DeskJet. Another
limitation of PostScript that sometimes comes as an unpleasant surprise is that you can't use PS fonts for WordArt. I use WordArt extremely rarely, but when I do use it, it seems as often as not the font I really, really wanted was a PostScript one! -- Suzanne S.
