Fonts changing in Word

What was the name of the font you used? Was it just "Script" or something else? When you checked the font, did you do so in Control Panel?

I initally used Script 12.  When I looked throught the control panel.  I had a .ttf file for Script, but nothing comes up on my fonts list in Word.

If it is called script 12 and is a .ttf, I don't think it came with Windows or office (at least I don't have it, I do have script.fon and script MT bold (scriptbl.ttf). The .fon ones don't show in Word.

So if you know where you got it from and can find it, you could try first removing it from the fonts folder, then importing a fresh copy back in; that might help if for some reason the copy in the fonts folder has got corrupted.

Or you can get it from

but I think it costs a few$.

I was pretty sure it was Script 12.  Either way, it came with MS Office because I have never added fonts from any other source.  I really need to figure out what is going on because my document is 73 pages long and part of it has already been sent to the printers.  How do you reinstall fonts that came with Office?

No, unless you mean the one I mentioned, Script MT bold, scriptbl.ttf. You could try that one.

Script.fon is a Windows font, but it is not a true type font and does not show in Office apps (Word, Excel, etc)

To see the list of fonts supplied with MS software, see

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx

Office XP is not listed but is the same as Office 2000 or 2003, I think.

I don't think MS has a script 12 true type font.

Do you have any other software installed that might have added fonts?
