lost fonts in word 2003

[Guest]

I recently ran windoctor (norton) and found problems with many of my fonts.
After that my browser did not display fonts properly on many web pages. I did
a system restore and now my browser is displaying correctly, however I am
missing many fonts in my word 2003 such as verdana, comic sans etc..... Does
anyone know where I could go to download the fonts that I have lost? TIA

They will be on your XP cd. Here is how to get them into your Fonts
folder (credit to MVP Kelly Theriot):

Make a work folder - say C:\Tempfont. Put the CD in the drive and exit
from the auto-run.

Start - Run - CMD.EXE and in that give the letter of the CD drive (say
Z - so
Z:
CD i386
EXPAND *.TT_ C:\TEMPFONT
EXPAND *.FO_ C:\TEMPFONT
C:
CD \TEMPFONT
REN *.TT_ *.TTF
REN *.FO_ *.FON
EXIT

That will extract all 298 fonts to C:\TEMPFONT. You can then go to the
Fonts folder, Browse to C:\Tempfont, and select the ones you need.
Check the 'Copy to fonts folder' box before OK. Once you are sure you
have everything you need, you can delete the work folder.
