Please send Alibi, Batavia, Courier New, Elegance, Geneva, Helvitica, Joan, &
NY fonts.

(1) Except for Courier New, none of these fonts comes with any
Microsoft software (Windows or Office). I think several of them are
from the Macintosh operating system.

(2) If they're copyrighted commercial fonts, it would be illegal to
copy them.

(3) Send them where? You've posted with an anonymous address.

Try looking through the installation disks for your other software or,
if they're not there, try using Google to look for them.

Thanks Jay. I found some of these fonts on the web and added them to the
fonts folder. I can use the files with Batavia font now, but cannot convert
them to another font supported by microsoft. How do I do this?

In Word, it depends on how the fonts were applied to the text, whether
through a style or directly.

Select some text and press Shift+F1 to open the Reveal Formatting task
pane. Check the box at the bottom for "Distinguish style source".

If the font name appears under the "From Paragraph Style" heading,
then the font is named in the definition of the style named there. If
instead the font name appears under "Direct Formatting", the font was
applied from the toolbar or from the Format > Font dialog to override
the style definition.

If the font comes from the style, use File > Styles > select the
style's name > click Modify and change to the font you want.

If the font was applied directly, you can select the text and press
Ctrl+spacebar to remove the added formatting and return to the
definition in the style for that paragraph.

Thank you very much. This was my first time using (or even accessing) this
service. It is a very interesting process.

Hi --

I followed these guidelines and the unreadable Batavia text then becomes
little boxes with no text in them. The text had direct formatting applied to
it.

Is there something I can do tomake the text readable???

Thanks!

BTW: this is for some letters that science students wrote and plan to send
to their US representative regarding global warming.
