Managing Installed Fonts

Fonts are managed through Fonts in Control Panel. In the Fonts folder, you can view each font's properties.

To remove a font from your system, simply delete the font from the Fonts folder. This modifies your system and updates the registry. If you attempt to view a file that contains fonts you have deleted or never installed, Windows 2000 matches the missing font to a similar font using the Font Matching Table.

Many fonts are widely available, and generally installed on computers. However, less common fonts might not display as expected on many computers and some computers might not have the fonts you are using.

To address this issue, you can embed fonts in a document if your application supports font embedding. Different applications support embedding using different procedures. Refer to your application documentation for information on embedding fonts.

To embed fonts in a document using microsoft word 2000

Open the file in which you want to embed fonts.

Click File, and then click Save As.

Click Tools, and then click Embed TrueType Fonts.

– Or –

Click General Options, and then click Embed TrueType Fonts.

NOTE

---

You can also choose to only embed those characters of the fonts that are used by clicking Embed characters in use only. Some applications do not offer the option to embed fonts.

Although embedding fonts is an effective way to ensure that your fonts appear as expected, you might not want to embed fonts for the following reasons:

If you are not certain the recipient needs the fonts. embedding fonts can easily increase the size of files by 500 kilobytes (KB), so unless users need them, do not waste memory embedding a font.

If you do not have the proper licensing to do so. many fonts have special licenses associated with their use. if you embed a font with a document, you might send that font to a person who has not accepted the terms of the font's use.

CAUTION

---

Never bundle fonts with applications.
