New computer old documents, wrong fonts

[MorTTime]

I purchased a new computer and I transfered all my old company docs. Trouble
is the new computer has changed the fonts in the old docs to new, less
attactive fonts. I am assuming it is because it does not have the same fonts
as my old computer. I did not buy any special fonts just what was standard MS
stuff.
How do I get my new computer to use the correct fonts? Do I need to copy
them from the old machine? Where are they located?
Thanks for your help.

The fonts on the old computer are in the Fonts folder (Start > Control
Panel > Fonts). Copy them from there to somewhere on the new computer,
then right-click on the filenames and choose Install. (You can do all
of them at once, if you want. If there are any duplicates it'll ask if
you want to replace the existing ones or skip the replacement.)

I will give that a try and leave feedback.
Thanks.
Also, can you give me some advice on new additional fonts, I am wondering
does MS add new fonts that are available for install, where are they located,
and are these the safest to install? You hear stories...

If you download the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en),
you'll get the new C-fonts that are included in Office 2007.

I have found a great font basic webite on MS. It answered alot of questions
for me about fonts in general:
