How do I find out what fonts were deleted from my system
Every year I write a christmas letter to my children and I save the year
befores document (word 2003) version. It contains a special script font that I do not remember where I got it from. Somehow it was deleted from my system. Word substitued a different font in the document. Is there a way to find out what the original font name was in the document or be able to know what font was deleted from my system |

Is there a way to find out what the original font name was in the document or be able to know what font was deleted from my system Go to Tools Options Compatibility and click the Font Substitution button. The resulting dialog will list any fonts that needed substitution, and then you can use Google or Live Search to try to find the font file somewhere online. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How do I find out what fonts were deleted from my system
Note also that Word should display the original name in the Font box even
though it is substituting another font in the display and for printing. Knowing the name of the font should get you a little closer to figure out where it came from. Many applications install fonts, so it may be that the font came with some application you no longer have installed (though it's hard to know how it could have been deleted from your system if you didn't change anything). -- Suzanne S.
