Please include fonts from previous versions ('98) in new versions

[Guest]

I used a lot of fonts from Office '98 that I can't find now. How do I find
them?

Office 98 was for Mac, does that mean that office for mac 2004 does not have
those fonts
or do you mean office 97?

No version of Office has supplied its own set of fonts.

It uses the fonts that are supplied with the Windows installation plus any
other fonts you add to that list.

List of fonts supplied with a Windows XP installation.

To add fonts you must have them available in a folder from a download or on
disk then go to Control Panel>Fonts>File>Add New Fonts.

Once added, Office applications will find them.

You probably had an imaging application installed on your last machine, and
that would likely have come with a number of it's own fonts. These fonts
would then have been available for use by any of the office applications,
and if you have since changed machines, or had a new image installed on your
machine etc, then you will not see these other fonts unless you have
intsalled whatever put them on in the place. Adobe Photoshop perhaps, or
something similar.
