Installed fonts not shown in apps
I installed new fonts on my PC running Windows Me per the instructions. The
fonts show up in the fonts folder in the Control Panel, but do not appear in the font list of any of my Office 2000 applications. If I open the fonts while in one of the Office programs, I can see them in the fonts list and use them in a document. How do I get the fonts to appear in the fonts list without opening the fonts? |

How exactly did you install the fonts? (I don't have Windows Me, so I don't
know what the instructions say.) Also, what printer do you have set as your default printer? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "BR" wrote in message ...

The instructions indicate that if you go to Control Panel and open the fonts
folder, you can click on an option to install fonts. I do not have that option, so I copied the fonts to the font folder. According to what I read on the Web, this was supposed to be ok. My default printer is an HP LaserJet 6MP. I also have an HP OfficeJet 5510. I made that my default printer and the fonts still didn't show up. "Echo S" wrote: How exactly did you install the fonts?

Just wanted to check, because fonts often won't show up if you have, for example, a generic fax printer set up as your default printer. Your fonts should show up with either of the printers you mentioned, though, so I'm back to thinking it's an issue with how they were installed. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Echo S" wrote: How exactly did you install the fonts?

It is not OKin Win ME if you don't have the "Install new font" option.
Try these: Fonts folder has lost its system properties. This will be obvious if viewing the fonts folder. You will not have the names and the "Install new font" option under file. If so: Check the protection in Properties on folder c:\windows\fonts If it is not shown with a check in System, then you cannot install new fonts. It should also be protected, so you may not be able to alter from Explorer. In DOS mode, (or from Start-Run) use the command attrib +s c:\windows\fonts Reboot and all should be OK or... Use TweakUI Tweak UI 1.33 for Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 or Windows 95. Details at: (may wrap) http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../NTTweakUI.asp Download at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/guide/tweakui.exe The system attribute is normally the problem and the DOS fix is the solution in the majority of the last few hundred responses I have made to similar problems. The Fonts folder will not function as a special folder without the system attribute. The other common problem is that the hidden desktop.ini is missing or corrupt and TweakUI will fix that. There is a third problem mentioned here but, in my experience, this one is uncommon.

I do not have that option in the File menu. That would have been too easy.
The only two options there are New and Close.

Sorry, but that means the operating system is were the problem is. I see
you are headed to the ME group for more help. So I hope someone has an answer for you there. BR wrote: I do not have that option in the File menu. That would have been too easy.
