XP and Vista Fonts in Word

I had to buy a new computer recently, as mine gave up on me. The new one has
Vista installed-the old one was XP.

When using XP, I used a font called 'technical' a lot, when using 'Word' but
Vista doesn't list this font. I have looked in the font folder and it isn't
there. Took a look at some websites but can't seem to find it. Also am not
sure which are good sites for downloading fonts.

Would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks.
 
Thanks JoAnn. Haven't a clue where it came from - and of course many of my
software programs don't work on Vista. So it's a matter of finding a new
favourite font. Pity. It was a good one.

You must have installed it with a non-MS program. Time to get out those CDs.
(I'll be doing the same thing this weekend.)

I'll be finding out what does and doesn't this weekend. I considered doing
the Easy Transfer but I'm going to start from scratch. time to develop new
habits and skills and lose many fonts. with over 900, I can afford to lose
one or two. ;-)

JoAnn,

I am 100% sure it was included with Windows ME.

list.

JoAnn,

I wouldn't either. I used that piece of (euphemism) junk for only 15 days
then I threw it away.

Technical is Corel's clone of the Linotype font named Tekton. The OP's
copy might have come with CorelDRAW or with WordPerfect.

You can download Technical from
http://eknp.com/php/fd.php?f=technical, although I suspect it's a
copyright infringement.

Tekton is available commercially from
http://www.linotype.com/49178/tekton-family.html?PHPSESSID=1714ee07d7922af07b95c7f26f7f101b.
