EngraversGothic BT looks different on Win XP / Word 2007 than Win 2K / Word 2K
On our old Win2K systems, I had a font named "EngraversGothic BT"
which we use in out letterhead templates (dozens of them). We just bought new computers running WinXP. The "EngraversGothic BT" font on these machines has a much different appearance. I just printed the exact same document on both machines. On the new machines, the font is slightly larger and much darker (like bold). It looks more like a bold Arial font. I have a couple of questions: 1. Should the same font look the same on both systems? 2. Is there some way for me to tell if it is the same font? 3. If it is not, can I copy the old font to the new systems? 3.a. If so, how do I find it? Any other suggestions? I just want the documents to look the same as they did. -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

EngraversGothic BT looks different on Win XP / Word 2007 than Win 2K / Word 2K
I can answer at least one question: on the old machine, open the Windows
Fonts folder. Right-click on the Engravers Gothic BT font and choose Properties. Note the filename. I have a font called Engravers MT with the filename ENGR.TTF; it is a serif font (see http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/agfa/en...engravers-mt/). Is it possible that this is what you want rather than Engravers Gothic BT ("gothic" = sans serif)? In any case, you can copy the font to a floppy, CD, flash drive, etc., and transfer it to the new machine. Note that Engravers MT (v. 1.60) is/was included with Access 97 SR2, Office 2000 Premium, Office 97 Small Business Edition SR2, Office 97 SR1a, Office Professional Edition 2003, PhotoDraw 2000, Picture It! 2000, Picture It! 2002, Picture It! 98, Publisher 2000, Publisher 97, Publisher 98, Works 2002. If Engravers Gothic MT comes with any MS product, then http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx has not been updated to reflect this (I doubt it would have come with Office 2007, since its new fonts all begin with C). -- Suzanne S.

I couldn't figure out how to extract the font from the WinXP system, but I did find it in c:\WINNT\Fonts on the Win2K system. I copied it to the machine that was missing it and now all is happy.

It's ENGRGOTN.TTF. I didn't need to right-click. The filename is
displayed in Explorer. The reason I suggested opening the Fonts folder in Control Panel rather than viewing it in Windows Explorer is that the filenames of many fonts don't bear any relation to the font names (some are intentionally named with cryptic numbers). Once you've found the font by its name, you can then find the filename as I suggested. As mentioned, that font is not included in any Microsoft product, so you presumably got it somewhere else. In any case, how to I extract the font from the one and copy it to the other? If you're comfortable using Explorer and can't figure out how to copy a file from one drive to another (using Copy or by dragging), then I don't know how to help you. -- Suzanne S.

There is no \Fonts folder in WinXP and I thought the fonts needed to be installed -- not just copied. Anyway, it works now. Thanks for the help. -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

The "Fonts applet in Control Panel" is what I meant by the "Fonts folder in
Control Panel." It's just a different way of looking at the folder. As for copying, I was suggesting you copy the font from wherever you are seeing it in Windows Explorer (if it's not in a folder, where is it?) to a removable drive of some description. Then, on the destination machine, you can open the Fonts folder, select File | Install New Font, and navigate to the removable drive where the copied font resides. -- Suzanne S.
