Why can't I use all of the fonts in the font folder in word 2003?
There are some fonts in the Windows Font folder that do not display in MS
Word 2003. I've read that if the font will not print Word will not display the font. However, when I print the font from the windows font folder, the font prints. Can anyone help? Thanks |

Why can't I use all of the fonts in the font folder in word 2003?
There are several reasons for fonts in the Fonts folder not being listed in
Word: 1. One common reason is that the printer currently selected as the active printer is a text-only printer, not capable of printing graphics (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NoFonts.htm). 2. Word will not use screen fonts that cannot be printed; these are marked with a roman capital A symbol in the Fonts folder. See “WD97: Some Fonts Are Not Available in Word” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=163059 for general information on this. 3. PostScript fonts (marked with a script capital A in the Fonts folder) may not be listed for one of two reasons: your printer cannot print them or you have selected "Show TrueType fonts only in the programs on my computer" on the Fonts tab of Tools | Folder Options in the Fonts folder. 4. If you have chosen to display only TrueType fonts, you also won't see printer-resident fonts (marked with a printer icon in the font list in Word). 5. Word never lists bold, italic, or bold italic variants of fonts, though it does use these fonts when you apply the Bold, Italic, or Bold and Italic font attributes. -- Suzanne S.
