Font question

I have Office 2003, including Publisher. I proofread our organization's
newsletter when the editor e-mails it to me. Once before I got a message in
Publisher that I didn't have a font she used, so I found it online and
downloaded it. Now I am getting a similar message, but cannot find such a
font. The Publisher message says:

The font information below shows what fonts are embedded in your publication
or are unavailable.

Font Name - 20th Century Font
Font Type - Unknown
Status - Unavailable

It suggests a Font substitution, but that won't help on her end, as we need
to be "on the same page".

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Charles,

Well, I THOUGHT I downloaded the font (4 versions of it) from the first URL
site you sent, but when I again opened the newsletter I got the same
message.

Don, I don't know if she'd know how to do that, nor do I know how to tell
her to do it.

After downloading the font...did
you place it in your Fonts folder?

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

Don,

Sorry to seem dumb, but how does she ID the font? She said she didn't
consciously choose it to use in the newsletter, and doesn't know where in
the newsletter it's in use.

Mary,

I've just now e-mailed her to find out what version of Office/Publisher she
has. As I had mentioned, I have 2003.

It's strange that I didn't get that message the last time she sent me the
newsletter to proofread a couple of months ago.

Joy,

What makes the difference if you have the font or not? You are
proofreading, not printing. So what if another font is being
substituted, as long as the spelling and grammar are correct? The other
person ought to be able to see if the layout is correct, just in case
whatever font is being substituted changes the layout a bit.

Mike,

Good question, but the way we've been doing it, is I make the corrections in
my copy and she uses that (after I send it back to her). Seems to be easier
for her than her making the changes/corrections I tell her about. Also that
way I have the correct copy in my own file for future use, as sometimes I
might send it to someone else. And there was one page this time where a
word was cut off in my version, but she said it wasn't in hers, and I'm
thinking it may have had something to do with the missing font.
