fonts

[Guest]

My font command do not have all the fonts that are in my control panel font
box. I need to use a Script font in an assignment and also a stencil font how
can I take the fonts out of the control panel and put them in my word font
command.

If the Script font is the old one (from Windows 95 or earlier) with a
..fon file extension, Word cannot use it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=163059 for explanation. You'll have
to find a script TrueType font that looks similar. Use Google to look
for one -- there are hundreds of sites that offer free fonts.

I don't know whether the stencil font you're trying to use has the
same problem, but again the solution is to find a TrueType substitute.

Once a font is installed in Windows, there's nothing more you can or
should do to make it appear in Word. Either it works or it doesn't.
