I am unable to use downloaded font in MS-Word 2003?

Question

I have downloaded a font and it appears in the font list of MS-Word 2003, but the moment i select it and try to work, it gets changed to default (Times Roman). How to use the downloaded font without getting the default font?

Answer 1

try it in word 2007

Answer 2

Sounds like the font did not download or install properly. I would make a second attempt to download it. If it still fails, look for the same or a similar font from another site. Not all of the free fonts that you get from font sites are good. I have downloaded more than one that did not work. Fortunately, there are enough out there that I can usually find a working version of the same type of font elsewhere.

Installing new fonts



1. Close any open Windows applications, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook®.

2. In Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes.

Note If you are using Control Panel Classic view or Microsoft Windows 2000, double-click Fonts, and then go to step 4.

3. In the task pane, under See Also, click Fonts.

Note If a folder tree appears instead of the task pane, click Folders on the toolbar, and then under See Also, click Fonts.

4. On the File menu, click Install New Font.

5. In the Drives list, click the drive you want.

6. In the Folders list, double-click the folder that contains the fonts you want to add.

7. Under List of fonts, click the font you want to add, and then click OK.

Answer 4

If you extracted it into your "c:\Windows\Fonts" folder then that part is good. Sometimes if MS Word is open when you extract the font then it doesn't populate in the list. You either need to close MS Word and reopen or just open Windows Explorer and navigate to the "c:\Windows\Fonts" directory then it should automatically populate in the list without closing your Word program.

Answer 5

then try to "clear formatting" and then apply the font
