Font not showing in some MS products.

[Guest]

My font list only shows "Device Fonts" in MS Word, Word
Pad and PowerPoint. It grabs the default font that is
avalible and displays that one also. BUT it does not
display any of the other fonts. I have severaly fonts in
my font directory and there are installed.

for example it displays :

"New Times Roman" in Word along with 3 Device fonts and
thats all.

"Arial" in Power Point along with 3 Device fonts and
thats all.

However in MS Front Page, it displays ALL of the correct
fonts.

I have reset word to it's defaults, and that has no
effect. Any ideas?

Cause may be too many fonts loaded into your Fonts folder. When you exceed
the "size" limitation for ACCES, the fonts disappear from the dropdown list.Try deleting one font at a time and check the dropdown list. When you've
deleted the "magic" last one, the list will suddenly reappear!
