FONTS ISSUE CONTINUED

[Guest]

HELLO EVERYONE. ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT FONTS. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
"FONT FILE" TYPE OF FILE (.ttf) AND "TRUE FONT TYPE" TYPE OF FILE (.fon)? I
HAVE THEM BOTH IN MY FONT FOLDER BUT ONLY THE "TRUE FONT TYPE" FONTS ARE
ACCESSIBLE THROUGH A APPLICATION (i.e. word, excel, etc.). IS .fon A FONT OR
IS THIS SOMETHING ELSE. Thanks again.

1) Lose the caps. It's considered yelling, is incredibly rude and makes your
posts very hard to read.

2) FON files are system fonts - they cannot be accessed/used by standard
Office applications (http://www.abf.jamesgoffin.co.uk/).

..ttf is a True Type Font (see the initials?).
..fon is the old style fonts.
Word should be able to use either.
