Placing the font file in the fonts directory should install the font. It
should then be available in applications for use. There are some older
applications that had to be shut down and restarted so that the font was
listed in their font menus. I don't think there are any now.

The symptom you describe, wrong characters displaying, indicates a font
substitution problem. For some reason, the font specified does not contain
the expected glyphs at the designated code points or the font that is being
substituted does not.

Once it is established that the originally used fonts are on the system now
used for rendering, and once it is confirmed that the problem is cured or
still exists, then we can investigate causes/cures.

For example, if the fonts are present, we can attempt to get a valid mapping
by saving the file to a pre-Unicode-use Word file format using a different
file name and then re=opening it. That can cause a new conversion to Unicode
and a correct result.

Let us know what is seen when you have verified the presence of the fonts on
the present system that were used to create the document.
