Default Windows XP Home

Documents I created in publisher under win '98 look different in XP because
XP doesn't have the fonts I used in '98. How do I add fonts in XP?

To manually install or re-install a font:
· Go to the Control Panel, then select Fonts folder (that's in classic view).
· On the File menu, click Install New Font.
· In the Drives box, click the drive that has the floppy or CD-ROM that
contains the fonts you want to add.
· Click the font you want to add. To select more than one font at a time,
press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each font.
· Click to select the Copy Fonts To Fonts Folder check box. The Windows\Fonts
folder is where the fonts that are included with Windows XP are stored.
· Click OK.

In addition to TaurArian.
From Start> Help and Support> searching for: Add fonts.
To add a new font to your computer

1.. Open Fonts in Control Panel.
2.. On the File menu, click Install New Font.
3.. In Drives, click the drive you want.
4.. In Folders, double-click the folder that contains the fonts you want to add.

5.. In List of fonts, click the font you want to add, and then click OK.
To add all of the listed fonts, click Select All, and then click OK.

Notes

a.. To open Fonts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Fonts.
b.. To select more than one font to add, hold down the CTRL key, and then click each of the fonts you want to add.
c.. You can also drag OpenType, TrueType, Type 1, and raster fonts from another location to add them to the Fonts folder. This works only if the font is not already in the Fonts folder.
d.. To add fonts from a network drive without using disk space on your computer, make sure that the Copy fonts to Fonts folder check box, in the Add Fonts dialog box, is clear. This is available only when you install OpenType, TrueType, or raster fonts using the Install New Font option on the File menu.
