Summary:

In Microsoft Word for Windows, the Preview font may be available on the drop-down Font menu if the active printer driver can print screen fonts (for example, dot-matrix printers). However, if you select the Preview font for your typeface, no font sizes will be listed for this font.

PREVIEW.FON is installed with Microsoft Word for Windows and some versions of Microsoft Excel for Windows. This font is only available in 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 point sizes. Because Word displays font sizes between 4 and 127 only, no font sizes are available for the Preview font.
