Problem seeing all my fonts in Publisher 2003 web pages

[Basslady]

I can see all the fonts in a regular Publisher document, but when I create a
web page format, I can only see a select group of TrueType fonts. This is on
my second copy of Publisher 2003 (which is legal). The first copy works ok,
on my primary computer.

Its possible that your 'first copy' is looking at a print document vs. a web
document. From the FAQ page:
http://www.publishermvps.com/WebDesign/FAQ/tabid/30/Default.aspx

"Q. When I open a web publication in v.2003 I only have a handful of fonts
available. Where did all my fonts go?
A. One of the most important things to remember when designing a web page
is that you should only use the standardized "web safe" fonts. If you use a
font other than one of the 8 web safe fonts then your site visitor may view
your content in a font their browser substitutes. That result can be
unpredictable. To avoid that 'mistake' the web publication only allows the
appropriate fonts.

The 8 web safe fonts are: Arial, Comic Sans, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Times
New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana.
If you opt to ignore this web safe design you can disengage the safe font
setting. In a web publication go to Format, Font, and deselect the "show
only web font" option. Then all fonts on the system will be available."

Thank you so much DavidF. You DID tell me something I didn't know. I wasn't
aware of the checkbox on the box that pops up when you click on Font from the
Format menu. That is what was doing what I was seeing. Thanks again!
