- Try Printer Setup.
-
- Your Truetype fonts should then show up.
-
- For most Windows word processors, you have to use printer setup every time
- you add fonts.
-
- I'm not sure if there is an option for no printer selected or if you can
- just install a printer driver without having a printer online. In any
- case, you do need to use the Printer Select option for the fonts to appear
- in Word.
