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.

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).
Ok. They were the same in this case. I didn't realize they could be
different.
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.
I dunno. Two brand new machines with the OEM sofware deleted and a
clean WinXP Pro and a clean Office 2007 Pro installed.
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.
The question was *where* to copy it. I know how to copy. Please don't
be patronizing.
I ended up just dragging it to the Fonts applet in Control Panel. You
could have said that. 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.
