Default Error 1907. Could not register font. -- while installing Office 07 on Vista


I got this message on XP while working with Office 2007.
This is the error message in the Event Viewer:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11907
Date: 1/16/2009
Time: 4:47:31 PM
User: Acme\User1
Computer: AcmeWorker1
Description:
Product: Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 -- Error 1907.Could not
register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install
fonts, and that the system supports this font.


I found, in my case, this problem was due to the fact that fonts had
been deleted.

At the bottom of this page I list 2 sites that can help you restore the
standard Windows Fonts. In most cases I'm sure that will fix your
problem. If not, you may want to see how I went about fixing my Office
font problem.

Instead of restoring the standard set of fonts, I figured out exactly
which fonts were missing and replaced only those.

Here's how I did it:

Go to Microsoft's SysInternals website and download Process Monitor:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896645.aspx

Run the program after you download it.
The program will start listing activity on your computer. Stop this by
clicking on the magnifying glass so there is a red X over it.
You can also click on File -- Capture Events (Ctrl+E) to do the same
thing.

Then click on the picture of a funnel, or filter.
You can also click on Filter -- Filter (Ctrl+L) to do the same thing.

In the "Process Monitor Filter" screen, click on "Architecture" and
change it to "Path".
Click on "is" and change it to "begins with"

In the next field, an empty field, type the following:

C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\

Click the Add button.
If you have done this correctly there will be a new entry below with a
green checkmark that reads:
Path begins with C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\ Include

Click OK.

Click on Filter -- Drop Filtered Events.

Now we are ready to find the fonts that are required by Office.
Click on the magnifying glass so the red X goes away.
You can also click on File -- Capture Events (Ctrl+E) to do the same
thing.

Now try to launch your Office Application again. When you get to the
error, look near the last line in the Process Monitor list. It will list
the last font that Office tried to access. You will have to replace or
repair this font.
In my case I was able to drag the deleted fonts out of the Recycle bin
and put them back into the C:\WINDOWNS\FONTS\ folder.

This is the list of fonts that was missing from my system (I had
recently tried to clean up my fonts):
REFSAN.TTF
REFSPCL.TTF
CASTELAR.TTF
COPRGTB.TTF
COPRGTL.TTF
PRISTINA.TTF
RAGE.TTF
NIAGENG.TTF
SHOWG.TTF
STENCIL.TTF
VINERITC.TTF
WINGDNG2.TTF
WINGDNG3.TTF


If you do not have a copy of your fonts (they are deleted and gone
forever) you should be able to get the basic fonts back from your
Windows CD.

Here is a website with information on how to restore your standard
fonts:
