MORE INFORMATION

The fonts used in WordArt 1.0 are not available to WordArt 2.0. Instead, WordArt 2.0 uses the TrueType fonts that are installed on your system. For this reason, the quality and resolution of WordArt 2.0 objects is greatly improved over WordArt 1.0.

When you update a WordArt 1.0 object to WordArt 2.0, the following font remapping occurs:
