SUMMARY
If you reinstall the Microsoft Equation Editor Fences and MT Extra TrueType fonts using the Windows Control Panel, the font names change to one of the following:

Original Font Name            New Font Name MT Extra TrueType             MT Extra Plain TrueType -or- MT Extra Regular TrueType

Fences                        Fences Plain TrueType -or- Fences Regular TrueType These changes occur because the font name in the FOT files supplied with Word for Windows differs from the font name in the actual font (TTF) files. The Word for Windows Setup program installs these fonts using the names in the FOT files. If you reinstall the fonts using the Fonts dialog box in the Windows Control Panel, Windows uses the names from the TTF files instead. The fonts are the same, regardless of the names assigned to them.
