Microsoft Font Assistant Cannot Find TrueType Fonts

 * }

ID: Q134770

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Office for Windows, version 4.3
 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows 98

-

SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Office version 4.3, the Font Assistant tool does not recognize that there are any TrueType fonts installed.

CAUSE
Font Assistant checks for fonts in the [Fonts] section of the Win.ini file. Windows 95/98 does not use the [Fonts] section of the Win.ini file to store font entries; it uses registry entries instead.

 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

 * 3) On the File menu, click Install New Font.

Note that the steps in this section describe only how to install TrueType fonts in Windows. Using this method to install TrueType fonts does not make them visible in Font Assistant.
