MAYBE "CONTACT US" SHOULD REALY MEAN "CONTACT US"
All I want to do is find out where my fonts went. Is that so hard? 45 minutes

MAYBE "CONTACT US" SHOULD REALY MEAN "CONTACT US"
Re-installing Office has no effect on what fonts are available.
1. Have you looked in your fonts folder or tried Control Panel Fonts? -- I think you'll find that they are all still there. 2. Do you have a printer installed? Word shows only those fonts that your printer can handle. "Just Jones." Just wrote in message ... All I want to do is find out where my fonts went.

MAYBE "CONTACT US" SHOULD REALY MEAN "CONTACT US"
Hi, and thanks for your advice. However, it didn't work. Maybe the whole
story would help. I had a new hard drive installed in my computer, everything else is the same, nothing changed. My own programs were re-installed, including Office XP Professional and Media Content.(Which contains many, many fonts) Same printer, same everything. Now Word offers only about fifty fonts in the Font tab. The others are there in the folder when I go into program files etc but they DO NOT show up in the actual Word window when I'm working. How do I get them back into the Word program, please. Just Jones. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: For starters, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NoFonts.htm -- Suzanne S.

MAYBE "CONTACT US" SHOULD REALY MEAN "CONTACT US"
What printer do you have selected as the Windows default? Also, keep in mind
that Word does not show font variants (bold, italic, bold italic), nor does it show screen fonts, which it will not use. Moreover, if you have PostScript fonts but have chosen to display only TrueType fonts, you won't see the PS ones. -- Suzanne S.

MAYBE "CONTACT US" SHOULD REALY MEAN "CONTACT US"
I have a 'you-beaut, $3,000.00) Canon i6500, A3 Format, color printer. The
same printer I've allways had, no changes there. NOTHING ELSE HAS CHANGED. I HAD A NEW, FASTER DRIVE INSTALLED, all my old programs re-installed, from all my original discs, including Office XP Proffesional PLUS MEDIA CONTENT. As far as I'm concerned the content of the programs should not have changed. I had hundreds of fonts (eg Jokerman; Amerigo; etc) now there is a very basic set of fonts, about fifty. I've searched and searched, I've tried everything I know and a few things I've never done before, I've tried your sugestions,... no fonts. Now I'm going to try some headache pills, may not find my fonts but will hopefully help with my headache ;-) Just Jones. "Suzanne S.

You obviously didn't reinstall *all* your programs because according to
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx, Amerigo is not supplied with any Microsoft product. Practically every program you install, including your printer "driver" when you install the printer from its CD, will come with some fonts. Even though you may have long since uninstalled or stopped using the programs, the fonts will hang around. Jokerman is supplied with Greetings 99, Home Publishing 99, Office 2000 Premium, Office 97 Small Business Edition SR2, Office Professional Edition 2003, PhotoDraw 2000, Picture It! 2000, Picture It! 2002, Picture It! 98, Picture It! 99, Plus! 98, Publisher 2000, Publisher 98; note that it does NOT seem to come with Office XP, so you probably inherited it from an earlier version. -- Suzanne S.

OK folks, thanks for all the help. I've done everything you all sugested,
taken aboard the other stuff and talked to my own computer guru, and yes, I probably gathered a whole lot of fonts from other programs over the years, begining with something like Publisher 93. I guess I've got a lot of re-collecting to do. I'm glad I never throw anything away, I'm sure I've still got my original discs from way back then. Unless I made frizbees out of them ;-) Thanks again for your help. Just Jones. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Do you have your printer set up as the default?
