Bitmap fonts in MS Word 2002

[Guest ray124c41]

II have Word 2002 and WinXP Pro SP2. Even though I have a few bitmap fonts

installed (by Microsoft?) and they can be accessed via Notepad and Wordpad,

they are not available in Word. Can bitmap fonts be used in later versions

of Word or is there a Word 2002 upgrade that enables the use of bitmap fonts?

Why don't you try asking this in a group that specializes in MS Office

problems:

 

microsoft.public.office.misc

I did. Actually, there are a bunch of microsoft.public.word.XXXXX groups.

I'm not fussy where the answer comes from. Besides, other people seem to be

posting similar problems and getting responses. I actually found a solution

to a problem I had under "Procedure to convert MS Word to JPG" in this

newsgroup and left a response there to that effect.

And none of them are active.

Bully for you.

 

I still say your chances are better in the group I pointed you to.

 

I don't know about other folks but when I keep seeing messages appear

here (or in other groups) that don't belong, I killfile the thread.

Hi,

 

This may answer some of your questions.

 

From KB 291354 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291354 entitled: "Some

fonts that were available in Word 95 are no longer available in Word 2002"

 

Microsoft Word is designed to produce WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)

output. To attain that goal, the text that is displayed on the screen must

be printable. If the text is formatted with a screen font, a font

substitution must occur when the document is printed because screen fonts

are for display only and cannot be printed.

 

A font substitution may produce non-WYSIWYG output. For this reason, screen

fonts are not available in the font list.

 

You can force Word to use a screen font by typing the name of the font,

exactly as it is named in Windows, into the font list and pressing ENTER.

 

Screen fonts are also not available in Microsoft Word 2002. Screen fonts may

include the following:

 

. Fixedsys

. MS Sans Serif

. MS Serif

. Small Fonts

. System

. Terminal

 

 

For additional information about missing fonts, click

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211916/ to view the article in the Microsoft

Knowledge Base entitled: "WD2000: Some Fonts Available in Word 95 No Longer

Available in Word 2000"
