List of fonts

[The Goulds]

I do not have office XP or 2003 (yet). How do I find out what fonts are
included with these versions of office so I know whether or not I have to
buy a particular typeface?

Thanks!

Fonts are installed by your printer, not office.

The Microsoft Typography site should have this info, but does not yet. Can
you tell me what fonts in particular you're looking for?

I just wanted to make sure that the typeface "Goudy Old Style" came with
Office for licensing reasons - I want to use it for a logo at our church and
two other machines will need it - I have not checked to see if the font was
installed there yet.

Thanks!

Goudy Old Style is installed with Office 2003. It's in P2561401.cab.

As Eric said, Goudy Old Style does come with Office 2003. But you can
always get just about any font you want by requesting in
. Another way is to use eMule
http://www.emule-project.net/ and search. Once you have the font file
(unzip if it's zipped), use (assuming you have Windows XP) Control Panel

(Classic View - not Category View) Fonts > File > Install New Fonts.

If you search for a font on the web, you'll get a lot of places that
want you to pay.

I believe if you install a font in Windows, it shows up in most
programs. Certainly, an installed font will show up in all the Office
programs.

It should be noted, however, that most fonts are copyrighted. Just as
downloading an image or a song doesn't necessarily give you rights to use
that media, having access to a font doesn't mean you're legally licensed to
use it without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.

Understood.

Although you're not specific, you seem to be giving a legal warning to
the poor OP, who, BTW, is doing some small work for his church.

If that font isn't in the public domain, it might as well be. As pointed
out earlier, MS provides it with Word 2003.
What we're talking about here is just a font, and a widely available one
at that.


Moreover, how would you know if a font is copyrighted or not? In a brief
search
http://www.google.com/search?&q="Goudy+Old+Style"
I found several places that *appear* to be (at least implicitly)
claiming copyright for the font. It looks like Bitstream
http://www.bitstream.com/ might be the true copyright holder (at least
in the US or Bern Convention signatory nations), but I can't be sure.
And how do you know that the places that sell the font acquired it by
legitimate permission from the copyright holder? And why should the
copyright laws be so respected; have you looked them over? And how do
you know that the copyright holder (and even that is an ambiguous term)
didn't rip-off the real creator?

In any case, some sites seem to be offering Goudy Old Style for free:
http://www.clipserver.de/Fonts/G.htm

I didn't bother getting the file (so I can't vouch for the file),
because I already have the font, and I don't use it anyway.
