Lost fonts in Office 2008

[FrankRP]

I installed Office 2008 yesterday and when I opened up my business letter template to write a new letter I immediately noticed that the font we use for our business logo, Brush Script, is missing.

When installing Office 2008 the font was apparently moved to a Fonts Disabled folder. I moved it back into every font folder I could find, restarted, and it still doesn't show up in any Office application. Since this font is part of our logo I can't do without it. How can I get MS Office to recognize the font again.

Have you tried restarting your computer?

I suggest that you should put it only in ONE folder You are making the
job difficult for the system by putting the same font in multiple folders.

I assume that you have made sure that the font is REMOVED from the "Fonts
Disabled" folders? If it's in two places, the "Fonts Disabled" lists
override the "Fonts" lists.

And Diane is correct: you need to reboot to rebuild the font caches.
