Re: Fonts not available for use

Word's relationship with the printer driver is very close - much more so
than most other software - and provides its ability to format the document.
If the fonts are not displayed it suggests that active printer driver cannot
print the fonts from Word. Word will not for example display screen fonts
nor will it display Adobe fonts if it is switched to use only Truetype
fonts. If the printer is configured to use its internal fonts, it may only
display those. Check your printer driver settings. What are the fonts that
it does not display?

The printer checkmarked under Printers and Faxes as the default is
the one I always print to. When I print from Word, that's the printer
it defaults to. I tried opening a document and changing the printer
to another one in our office, but the list of fonts did not change.

It is not the fact that you have a printer or driver installed but
that the active printer in Word is a printer that can print the
fonts. By default the active printer will be the Windows default
printer. Check your print dialog and see what the active printer is.

Your link just re-states the potential printer driver problem. I'm
not using a generic driver, I'm using the driver from my
installation disk. I also deleted the printer altogether and
reinstalled it. If it's still a printer problem, what other driver
should I install?

I recently upgrades computers and now have Office 2007 Basic on
Windows XP, previously had 2003. I have very limited fonts in my
drop-down list now. More are listed in the font folder, but I
can't seem to use them. I am using the same printer as always.
The driver is correct, but I even uninstalled and reinstalled the
printer for the heck of it, didn't fix it. The fonts are
available in Excel and print correctly from that program. I can
also open and print the fonts from the font folder. I tried
typing the font name to use it, but it doesn't come up with the
correct font.
