Default Font Pali Times Ameco

I installed Pali Times Ameco Font on Word Office 2007.
If I want to search a word with this special typeface I can't use this
special typefaces on Modify-Search.
Thanks.

Ctrl+F to open the Find dialog. Click More, then Format, then Font and
choose the desired font to search for. Leave the "Find what" box empty.

You can Copy the word you're looking for (if necessary, type it in
your document, copy it, and delete it) and Paste it into the Find box.
If the script is one encoded in Unicode, you probably won't need to
specify the font, but if it's Pali specifically, it's coded either as
some other Indic script, or in the Private Use Area, or as a-zA-Z, and
you should also choose the font as Suzanne explained.

Default Font Pali Times Ameco

Thank you.
In my Word Office I hasn't Pali Times Ameco and I Installed it later.
I followed the hints but I can't write the word with special typeface.
My steps: Find Dialog, More, Format. Then I can take the typeface Pali Times
Ameco but I can't choose the Font.
If I choose Pali Times Ameco as typeface it's the same because I can't write
the word exactly.

If the font is installed (in the Windows Fonts folder), and the active
printer is one that is capable of printing, you should be able to select it
in any Font dialog or dropdown. Can you see it in the Symbol dialog (Insert
| Symbol | More Symbols...)?

Default Font Pali Times Ameco

I just googled the font name (it would be useful to have a font for
the standard Buddhist canon!), and the only relevant results are this
thread and another one in an Italian-language newsgroup asking the
same question. I wonder if something has gotten renamed somewhere
along the way.

Default Font Pali Times Ameco

I see the same thing you do. So I reduced the search to "Pali Times" and
found http://www.buddhanet.net/ftp_pali.htm, which lists Pali Palatino and
also a Palimacro.zip file (either of which might be relevant).

Then I tried "Pali Ameco" and got directed to
http://www.skepticfiles.org/mys4/skedamar.htm, which doesn't seem to have
the text quoted in the Google search results (an A.M.E.C.O. Foundation and
reference to "Pali and English chanting"); there are evidently also several
companies named Ameco, at least one of them in China ("Times Ameco" brings
up a lot of those).

Combining "font" with any of these searches just keeps hitting the same
Italian thread about Pali Times Ameco.

From where did you obtain this font? I can find no on-line references to it
other than your questions about it.
Word will only display fonts that the currently active printer is capable of
printing. Screen fonts and badly formed printer fonts will not be available.

Default Font Pali Times Ameco

Thanks for your time.
The Font is in Windows Fonts Folder and I can print a document with this
special typefaces. I can add Symbol as you said and this surprised me for I
posted my question here.
Maybe I was unclear.
In a Word Page if I want to put a special typeface from Pali Times Ameco I
choose the typeface and then I have to use a special combination of keys.
Ctrl+ or Ctrl+Alt+.
When I want to find a word with this typefaces I don't know how I have to
write this character in the Find Box.
I followed your hints but If I follow Find-More-Format I can change the
typeface but I don't know how I can insert the special typefaces.
Please, help me!
