Font substitution is a pig's breakfast at the best of times. Either install
the fonts you want to use when you install the templates. Or save your
sanity and forget about it: design your templates to use bog-standard fonts
only. This is graphically less than ideal, but as a real world issue, it's
the only approach that actually works.

I'm designing templates for my organisation, and would like to use one of
the
fonts bundled with our version of Office:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...t.aspx?PID=143
As these aren't system fonts they may not appear on users machines when we
email documents outside our organisation.
My questions:
1. What font will Word substitute if it can't find the font I've used?
2. Is there any way I can control the substitution? For example, if I set
up
my documents to use Gill Sans, could I have Word substitute Arial at times
Gill Sans is unavailable?
Thanks. By the way, I am aware of Word's font embedding feature but would
prefer to avoid it.
