Fonts for Word for Mac

[Kurt Ullman]

Recently changed over to Mac from W98 and Word 98. There is a W98
font that I like to use that apparently isn't available on W for Mac,
specifically Broadway. Anyone know of a good source for this font or if
it might be hidden somewhere on the W for Mac disk and just not part of
the basic information?

Hi Kurt:

I don't remember Broadway" as being a Microsoft font. If it is, it will
appear on the install disk in a folder named "Fonts" under the name
"Broadway".

But I suspect you may have to bring that font over from your old machine.

I'm not sure that I would bother: If it's a non-Unicode font, there will be
better alternatives that are coded in the native Unicode character set that
is now standard for Mac, Windows, and Word.

The old font may give you character substitution problems.

Cheers

It was part of the original equipment with Word2K on my W98 machine,
so I would figure that it would be. I'll get out the CDs and see if
there something lurking there that I did not install for some reason.

How.

Where would I look for the other possible?

Probably take a shot at it anyway. Thanks for the time and
information.

actually check out any of the results but there sure were a lot that looked
promising!
