Did you reinstall the font? If it wasn't one of the standard Windows/Office fonts, you'll have to reinstall that font too
(presumably you still have the source disc for the font).

Yes, I have reinstalled the font and Word several times and still get

Suzanne S. Barnhill said:According to http://www.dafont.com/final-frontier.font, this font contains
straight quotes and apostrophes (characters U0022 and U0027) but no curly
ones (U2018, U2019, U201C, and U201D). So what I imagine is happening is
that you're typing ' and " from the keyboard, and Word is AutoFormatting
them into characters that don't exist in the font.
There are two ways around this:
1. Temporarily disable "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" on the
AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect.
2. After typing a quote or apostrophe, press Ctrl+Z to undo the AutoFormat.
