Thanks for the clarification. I feel much better now because I
couldn't imagine how I was going to print using my HP printer with an
Epson driver. But I understand the scenario you presented. It's
something neat to keep in mind and something I never would have
thought of.

Thanks again for your patience and help.

While you can install the driver for another printer that is not
physically connected, to display its built-in fonts, or to display
the TT or Adobe fonts installed on your PC, you can only print the
displayed fonts if you have the printer in question present. This is
useful if you don't have the printer but are preparing a document to
be printed by someone who has.

Thanks Graham very much for your reply. I copied and pasted the
missing fonts from my laptop fonts folder to the one on my PC and
the problem is solved. Thanks to both you and Suzanne. I really
appreciate it.

I did go to the site you referenced,
http://www.gmayor.comwhere_are_my_fonts.htm and it raises a
question. I have installed the latest driver available for my
printer (HP Photosmart) on Windows XP. Is that article saying that
I can arbitrarily install the driver of another printer, say an
Epson, even though I don't have that printer, and that may make
more fonts available for me to use in Word and print them out using
the HP? That seems contradictory to me. Just curious!! Thanks
again for you and Suzanne taking the time to help.

If the font files are not in the fonts folder then they will not be
available - which is why Suzanne suggested copying and pasting
(from the laptop). If the PCs are networked you can install the
fonts from one to the other.

Fonts will not be available to Word, even if installed if you do
not have an active printer set in Word.

Thanks Suzanne.

Do you have any thoughts about my first question regariding fonts
in my font folder that are not available to me in Word 2003,
though they are available and printable (using the same printer)
on my laptop

Thanks for your reply Bob. I have MS Office Student and Teacher
Edition 2003
which does not include MS Publisher. Both my desk PC and laptop
have Windows
XP OS and the same Office suite.

The frustrating part is that the Windows\Fonts folder on the PC
has fonts in
it that are not available to me in Word but are available and
printable using
the laptop. I can list them but I doubt if that would be
helpful.

A second unrelated problem I have is that there are fonts that
have been deleted from the fonts folder in the PC. Can I simply
copy those font files
from the laptop and paste them in fonts folder on the PC or is
that too simplistic?

I hope this is not too confusing. I would appreciate your
thoughts.

Thanks

Hi Vinny,

MS Windows, MS Office and many HP Printer drivers come with a
set of fonts. Without knowing what fonts are missing and the
Office edition you have (i.e. there are more fonts in Office
editions with MS Publisher included) it's not easy to suggest
what their original source may have been.

I recently installed an old HP Photosmart P1100 printer
directly to my desktop PC with Windows XP operating system. I
had trouble with the installation and got help from a HP
technician. In the trouble shooting process he had me remove
several fonts. I don't remember how we did it (I
think by changing some lines in the directory) but they are no
longer listed
in the folder, c:\Windows\Fonts. It finally turned out that
the fonts had
nothing to do with the printer problem which was finally
resolved by a "hard"
reset.

However, now I have a limited number of fonts available to me
when I use Word 2003. I know that it is not because of the
printer capability (WYSIWYG), because I can print using Word
2003 from my laptop using the same
printer and using the fonts that are missing from the PC fonts
folder but are
available in the laptop fonts folder.

Not surprising, uninstalling and reinstalling Word 2003 in the
PC didn't work. Also I reinstalled MS Office Student and
Teacher Edition 2003 which contains my copy of Word 2003,
again to no avail.

Can someone help me obtain and reinstall the missing fonts?

Thanks very much.
