It should be okay, but for whatever reason, that often doesn't work.

Generally, if you go to Control Panel and open the fonts folder, then click
on the File menu, you should have an option to Install New Font. If you
don't have that option, you may need to ask why in one of the Windows Me
groups. I believe you need to install the fonts so they'll show up in the
Office applications.

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx is
an alpha list of the MS web-based interface to the groups.

Okay, thanks. 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.
