Fonts are fantastic. To install a favorite TTF, just drag and drop it into the system Fonts folder (found in the Control Panel). But wait -- there's more! How often have you received a Word document that just doesn't look right? Chances are, the author used a font that isn't installed on your system. If they neglected to embed the face (which can be done via the Tools > Options > Save panel), you might consider remapping font substitutions. NOTE: this only needs be done during a document dilemma. If you're still in Word's Options dialog, flip over to the Compatibility tab and press the 'Font Substitution' button. There, you'll uncover the missing TrueType(s); not quite as thrilling as discovering El Dorado, but helpful nonetheless. Select which font you'd rather work with and click OK. Smooth seeing from now on...
