WD97: International Fonts Do Not Appear in Font List

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

International font sets that are available in Word 7.0 are not automatically available in Word 97.

CAUSE

This is a design feature of Word 97. Word 97 makes available only the fonts that are usable by the language and keyboard setting in Microsoft Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

Follow these steps to install multilanguage support and keyboard support for a specific language:

1. Click Run, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.



2. In the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.



3. Click the Windows Setup tab.



4. Click the Multilanguage Support check box to select it.
   
   NOTE: Multilanguage Support is only available if Windows 95 is installed from CD-ROM.



5. Click OK.



6. In the Control Panel, double-click Keyboard.



7. On the Language tab, click Add.



8. Click the language you want to use, and then click OK.



9. Click OK.

MORE INFORMATION

The font names, as viewed in Word 97, will not indicate the expected international font name. Word 97 will display the English font name and will map to the correct international font, as needed. For example, with multilanguage and keyboard support enabled in Windows 95, and the keyboard set to a certain language, such as French, Word 97 will use Arial CE, Courier New CE, or Times New Roman CE, but it will display the font name as either Arial, Courier New, or Times New Roman.

The international font names previously seen in Word include the following:

Arial CE
Arial Cyr
Arial Greek
Courier New CE
Courier New Cyr
Courier Greek
Times New Roman CE
Times New Roman Cyr
Times New Roman Greek
