Mac Forum / Applications / Word / September 2007MacFonts go into Font Manager but not Word
I have installed MacFonts (TrueType) and verified that they are enabled and active on my computer (OS X.4.1), but they still do not appear for use in Word (2001). > I have installed MacFonts (TrueType) and verified that they are > enabled and active on my computer (OS X.4.1), but they still do not > appear for use in Word (2001). Yep... Office 2001 is a classic application. It simply doesn't use the Fonts MacOS X offers. It is restricted (like all classic apps) to the MacOS 9 fonts. You need to install the fonts in the Fonts folder of your MacOS 9 installation to make it available to Office 2001.

Very true indeed!

Finally something that makes sense. Unfortunately, I got really busy a month ago and trashed all the OS 9 files I could to save space on my hard drive. I should have known. I think now there is no place to put the fonts for Office to find them. Do you know if the more current Office programs will pick up fonts from my Font Book?

Office v.X and Office 2004 look in the proper Mac-ish places. Place the fonts you want every user on your machine to see in /Library/Fonts Per user fonts belong in ~/Library/Fonts (what font book calls computer and user respectively.) The ~ is shorthand for each user name. Chuck 'em in there with the finder. Font Book will sort it out. (you can 'remove duplicates' to sort of clean up any mess you might make, although it is wise to check that you have not kept old versions of fonts of the same name from old systems. Font Book usually makes the right choice.) Word will see all the fonts that font book has enabled. (well, almost all — it is not completely perfect) You do need to restart Word after changing the fonts enabled in Font Book before it notices.
