Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>newusers (more info?)

Hi,
I am having issues with a font appearing differently on my PC than on my
colleague's PCs. We typically open the same files stored on centralized
servers. The font in question is r_ansi. Both my colleagues and I use Word
2002 SP3. Are there any settings that need to be adjusted? Any help is
greatly appreciated.

First, make sure that you both have the same printer driver set as the
Windows Default. Different printer drivers will resolve a slightly different
result.

However, more likely is that one of you either has not got the font
installed and/or that font substitution is substituting the nearest
equivalent font.

Thanks for the help Terry. One follow up question. How can I tell which of
us is substituting the font? Thanks again

Hi David,

With the document open, check
Tools=>Options=>Compatibility=>[Font Substitution]
