I currently do not have these
fonts: Banco and Bookman Oldstyle
Arial MT. And i would like to
obtain them. Can someone tell me
where and how can I go about
downloading them
I'm assuming you want/need these fonts for an Access application, and, thus,
your question is on-topic here. If that is not the case, then consider Rick
B's response.
A good start would be to visit
http://www.google.com and search on the font
names. If they are freely available, then this should find the site (but it
may find a great many other references to them, too).
I find that installing a few graphics programs gives me more fonts that I
want... but I do not seem to have Banco at all, my Bookman Old Style is a
TrueType, as is my Arial. I do have an Arial Rounded MT, so it is possible
that in picking and choosing what fonts to install from some graphics
package, e.g., Corel Draw, Paint Shop Pro, or something that came with
Microsoft Office, I simply did not check the "Arial MT".
And, in addition to fonts that install along with software packages, many
graphics / images packages also include more fonts than I ever wanted to
look at.
In "real world printing work", I rarely use any fonts except the basic ones
that are included with Windows and Microsoft Word -- Times New Roman, Arial,
and Courier New.
For text to be displayed on screen, e.g., in an Access Form, I occasionally
use some others.
