MORE INFORMATION
MS LineDraw
The MS LineDraw font is identified as a symbol font. Therefore,
Microsoft Word 2002 interprets text typed in the MS LineDraw font as a series
of symbols. As a result, many of the formatting and proofing features of Word
ignore the text.
Courier New contains the exact same character set as
MS LineDraw. Existing documents formatted with the MS LineDraw font are mapped
to Courier New when opened in Word 2002.
To gain access to the
line-drawing characters that were formerly available in MS LineDraw, click
Symbol on the
Insert menu, change the font to
(normal text), and then
change the
Subset setting to
Box Drawing.
Bookshelf Symbol
Bookshelf Symbol 1 and Bookshelf Symbol 2 fonts are not proper
symbol fonts. Because Word 2002 supports Unicode, these fonts are not usable in
Word. In many cases, if a converted document contains these fonts, you see
empty characters, represented by square boxes.
International Fonts
Word 2002 makes most international fonts available.

Vector Fonts
Vector fonts use an older font technology, and the quality of the
printed output is very poor. Because of the poor printed quality, these fonts
have been removed from the font list in Microsoft Word 97 and later.
Examples of vector fonts include Roman, Modern, and Script. They are mostly
used by Plotter printers under Microsoft Windows

Screen Fonts
Microsoft Word is designed to produce WYSIWYG (What You See Is
What You Get) output. To attain that goal, the text that is displayed on the
screen must be printable. If the text is formatted with a screen font, a font
substitution must occur when the document is printed because screen fonts are
for display only and cannot be printed.
A font substitution may
produce non-WYSIWYG output. For this reason, screen fonts are not available in
the font list.
You can force Word to use a screen font by typing the
name of the font, exactly as it is named in Windows, into the font list and
pressing ENTER.
