Hi all,

I have a user at the moment who us using 'non standard' word art fonts. Although we are having a problem that when anyone other than him opens the document (even though the font/word art have been embedded) that word will just open it as a 'Default' looking font.

We have tried saving the file in different versions of Word to no avail.

The actual 'typed' font is showing as it should. I have included a screenshot of what the font looks like and what the Word art looks like on a machine which does not have it installed.

It seems that Word is only carrying the imbedded file of the 'typed' font, and not the Word art font.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems like you're encountering an issue where Word is not properly displaying the custom WordArt fonts when the document is opened on a machine that does not have those fonts installed. This can happen even if the fonts are embedded in the document. Here are a few steps you can try to address this problem: 1. Check Font Embedding Options: - Ensure that when saving the document, the option to embed fonts is selected. This helps Word embed the font data within the document, allowing it to display correctly even on machines that do not have the font installed. 2. Use Universal Fonts for WordArt: - If the specific WordArt font is causing issues, consider using more universal fonts that are likely to be available on most...

Use Universal Fonts for WordArt: - If the specific WordArt font is causing issues, consider using more universal fonts that are likely to be available on most systems. This can help in ensuring consistent display across different machines. 3. Convert WordArt to Shapes: - Another workaround is to convert the WordArt text to shapes or objects. This ensures that the appearance of the text is preserved regardless of the font availability on other machines. 4. Update Word and Office Suite: - Ensure that both the version of Word used to create the document and the version used to open it are up to date. Sometimes, compatibility issues with fonts can be resolved with software updates. 5. Sharing Fonts Separately: - If possible, you could share the custom fonts separately with those who need to view the document. This ensures that the fonts are installed on their machines and Word can render the document correctly. 6. Test in Different Word Versions: - Try opening the document on multiple versions of Word to see if the issue persists across all versions. This can help identify if the problem is specific to a particular version of Word. By following these steps, you may be able to resolve the issue of custom WordArt fonts not displaying correctly on machines that do not have the fonts installed. Let me know if you need further assistance!
