Some font types are not supported in later versions of Word. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=163059 "WD97: Some Fonts Are Not
Available in Word" for more information. The article also applies to
Word 2000, 2002, and 2003.

I downloaded some new fonts from the internet. I obtained and followed the
instructions on how to install the new fonts into Word, Excell, etc. The
fonts are showing up in Excell, but not in Word. When I return to "My
Computer" to reinstall the fonts, a pop-up box says that the font has already
been installed. Why isn't the font available for me to use in Word?
