Default why cant i change font

i select all the text in a textbox and try to apply a font. nothing happens.
that's the case with 4/5 fonts, only a few work. the same appears in both
publisher 2003 and 2007.

Are you creating a web page? Publisher will show 11 or so fonts when you are
creating web pages. To use all the fonts, on the toolbar, Format, Font, uncheck
Show only Web fonts.

If above is not the issue, are you getting an error?

I get absolutely no error message and no, I'm not creating a web page but a
brochure.

All those fonts you see with the @ are mostly oriental. For example
@Malgun Gothic is Korean; @Microsoft JhengHei is Chinese. And so on. Do a
Internet search for the font you are trying to use to find out what language it
is.

The font I'm trying to apply (Lucida Calliggraphy) isn't in any language,
it's just a designed font.

I don't what else I can tell you. Not all Office's fonts are installed by
default. Go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features folder, scroll down to
Office, click Change.
