Talon63 - Bingo! This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting. Find the font file that you downloaded, keeping in mind that it may be contained within a. It's probably located in your downloads folder.
If you're satisfied that this is the font you want, click Install at the top left. Close the Font Previewer, and open your Office program. You should now see your new font included on the font list. Find the font file you downloaded - it likely has a. Double-click on it. Note: If the font file has a. It will open in the font previewer.
Click Install Font. It will open in the Font Book. Close the Font Book. Your font should now be available to Microsoft Office. When you install a custom font, each font will work only with the computer you've installed it on. Custom fonts that you've installed on your computer might not display the same way on a different computer. Text that is formatted in a font that is not installed on a computer will display in Times New Roman or the default font.
Therefore, if you plan to share Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, or Excel files with other people, you'll want to know which fonts are native to the version of Office that the recipient is using. If it isn't native, you may have to embed or distribute the font along with the Word file, PowerPoint presentation, or Excel spreadsheet. For more information about this see Fonts that are installed with Microsoft Office. Microsoft Typography. Change or set the default Font in Microsoft Office.
The fonts that are in printers can sometimes be useful and difficult to use in application program code. This article describes how to determine which printer-resident device fonts are available for use in a Win32 printer device context. The article also describes several problems that can happen when you try to use those printer fonts in application code. Original product version: Win32 printer device Original KB number: In most cases, a software developer relies on the operating system to provide the fonts that will be used for its drawing.
To do this, you can select an operating system-supplied font through the application programming interface API or through the common Choose Font dialog box. However, the application is typically not concerned with the particular font that is used, only it meets certain requirements and the user prefers the font.
These requirements include:. Typically, when the application prints the document, the font or a font that is similar to it is used on the printer without any particular action from the application. This is generally the correct result for the application, and this produces good printed results at reasonable speeds.
However, sometimes an application developer may have to select only a certain font specifically from a target printer. Historically, this was necessary on impact-type printers for example, dot-matrix printers to obtain certain formatting or to speed up the printing. Today, most printers are fundamentally designed as raster devices and can draw a dot a pixel on any part of the paper as efficiently as all of a character glyph. For most applications, it isn't an issue whether a character glyph is drawn as a whole form from a printer-resident definition or is drawn as a collection of pixels that the operating system provides.
However, you may still want to use a font that only the printer provides. For example, this may occur because the font is unique and has no similar substitute in the operating system or perhaps because you want to avoid the overhead of downloading a font definition to the printer. For the purposes of this article, device fonts are any fonts whose definition exists either permanently or transiently in the printer's memory.
These device fonts provide a character glyph definition that can be addressed per character by the printer's page rasterizer hardware to ink the shape onto paper. True device fonts. For the purposes of this article, these are fonts that only the printer hardware provides and that you can use only on the printer. Device font substitution. Fonts that exist in the operating system and that the printer hardware also provides. In this case, the printer hardware can substitute for the operating system's fonts.
Downloadable fonts. Fonts that the operating system provides but whose definition can be downloaded to the printer and used on the printer as if the printer hardware provided the fonts directly.
The operating system provides downloadable fonts, which are also known as soft fonts. When you print a document, the definition for the font is provided as part of the print job.
When the printer processes the print job, the font definition is installed in the printer memory so that the font definition can be inked onto the printed page of the document.
Some argue that because the printer is drawing the character glyphs of the font, these fonts are device fonts. However, when a font definition is downloaded or when a glyph is drawn onto the printer through a bitmap, only some overhead or print job spool size is saved.
This process occurs transparently to the application so that the font in the operating system can be used on the screen and on the printer. Because this article focuses on how to use device fonts that only the printer provides, this article doesn't describe how to use downloadable fonts.
Device font substitution occurs when there are two, distinct font definitions: one that the operating system uses, and one that the printer uses. That is, an application selects and uses a font in the operating system in a document on the screen. When you print the document, the printed output is drawn by using the similarly defined font that the printer provides. Therefore, the font in the operating system has been substituted on the printer with the printer-defined font.
An example of this is the TrueType Arial font that is typically printed by using the PostScript font definition for the Helvetica font on most PostScript devices. This is an example of a substitution by using a similar font whose font name is different.
In this case, you can typically find and use this similar font definition directly because the similar font definition is also exposed as a true device font. This is discussed later in this article. Device font substitution also occurs when the font on the printer has the same name as the font that the operating system provides. This typically occurs on printers such as Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers.
