I see. So everything is as it should be. I just needed to get the right
printer driver installed. Thanks for the information!

The resident font in the HP laser printers is addressed as CourierPS. You
can only select fonts that the current printer driver is capable of
printing.

I think that I have resolved this problem, at least partly.
I logged on to the machine that I previously used to print a document
to the HP LaserJet 4100 using the Courier font. I switched to the
4100 printer and the Courier font was NOT listed in the Word font
list, whereas I thought that it was yesterday. The only thing that I
can think of is that yesterday I initially had a different printer
selected--one that supports Courier--and that I composed my test
document using Courier BEFORE switching to the 4100 printer. When
you do that, Courier will appear in the font box even when the
selected printer does not support Courier, but it will NOT appear in
the drop-down list of fonts. Hope that's not too confusing. Anyway,
this explains why I thought that Courier was appearing in the font
list on my machine, and not on the other machine.
There is still one thing that I am wondering about, though. The
LaserJet 4100 printer DOES in fact support the Courier font (it's on
a list of supported fonts that I printed directly from the printer's
control panel), but the font does not appear in the Word font list
when a printer that is using a PCL 6 driver is selected. I added a
printer that uses a PostScript driver, and the Courier font shows up
in the Word font list when that printer is selected. Can someone
explain this situation?

Graham,
I have an issue regarding the Courier font that seems like it is
somewhat related to the issue of this thread. We have an HP
LaserJet 4100 that DOES support the Courier font. On my machine (XP
Pro and Word 2000), when the HP LaserJet 4100 is selected as the
printer the Courier font appears in the Word font list. This is in
agreement with your comment below. I have successfully composed
Word documents using the Courier font and printed them to this
printer.
However, we have another machine (Also running XP Pro and Word 2000)
on which the Courier font does NOT appear in the Word font list when
the HP LaserJet 4100 is the selected printer. I have confirmed that
the Courier font is installed on the machine. If the printer
supports the Courier font, then why would that font appear in the
Word font list on one machine, but not on the other, when both
machines have the font installed? Could it be a problem with the
printer driver?

Script is a screen font. Word will only display fonts the current
prionter is capable of printing. WordArt is a little more flexible.

Hello. I currently own a copy of Microsoft Word 2003, running on a
Windows XP System. I have a FONT problem.
I notice that when I am using the "Word Art" feature of Microsoft
Word, I am presented with quite an extensive array of different
fonts from which to select. One of my favorites from this
particular list is the font called "Script."
I would really like to use this particular font in my normal
typing. I think that it would look rather nice as a normal type
font; however, I cannot seem to find this font when I am doing
regular typing. It seems that I can only use this particular font
in the "Word Art" feature of Microsoft Word. "Script" (NOTE: NOT
Script MT Bold, but the regular one) does not appear on the normal
font list.
Obviously, my computer MUST have this font installed if the font is
showing up at all, even if only under one portion of Word. However,
to be sure, I attempted installing the font "Script" to my computer
from the "Fonts" folder in the "Control Panel." Upon trying to
install it, I instantly got a message reading, "The Script (All
res) font is already installed. To install a new version, first
remove the old version." So, is this my actual problem? I need to
install a new version? How, exactly, would I go about deleting the
"old version" from Microsoft Word without deleting the entire font
from my computer altogether? Or is there just a specific location
in which I need to look in order to obtain this font for regular
use? I have searched EVERYWHERE on my hard drive, and I do not
seem to be able to find it. I am most frustrated and confused, to
say the very least.
Any help, tips, or answers at all would be IMMENSELY appreciated.
Thank you all so much in advance. I hope I was able to explicate
this problem very clearly. Thanks again.
