Look at Approach 2 since Approach 1 has already been tried.
Beware, please rad the whole article, especially about crating System Restore points, since font handling can be a minefield.
Good luck.

I installed a new HD in my notebook recently. Was able to install Win-XP and my apps, and including MS-Office 2003. However, it dropped a lot of the fonts -- too numerous to mention. Is there away to extract just the fonts from the installation CD? I did a repair but that didn't help.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions.
The fonts that are missing are from Office 2003, not WIN-XP.
As far as I can tell most or all of these fonts are missing.

Already tried a repair from the Office 2003 Pro disc.
Do you know of a way to extract them?
Kees suggestion?
Try this. Open Notepad and type messages. Goto Format > Font and see if different fonts work.
If not, then the problem is with the Windows fonts, not Office.

and I can't check it here, but I'm sure that other versions of Office had the option to include or exclude a lot of features (like, for example, specifying what graphic filters you want to install). Installing extra fonts might be one of those options that aren't included in the default install (like the WordPerfect graphic filter isn't included). Did you check that?

I did a complete reinstall of Office and it didn't help.
However, I was able to find many of the missing fonts at these sites:

- Are you sure those fonts came from the Office 2003 CD and not from some other source? Can you give a few examples?
- Find any other PC with those fonts installed, copy them from c:\windows\fonts to your USB-stick and install them from there via Control Panel>Fonts. Couldn't be easier.
- Things like this are why I include the c:\windows\fonts folder in my routine backup. Never lost a font that way.
