Dear All,
Please help me to solve it. Where can I locate a printer defined font and
reinstall it to another computer? Where and when and which printer or
installation is such font derived from can't be indentified any more. So I
think that is the other way to retrieve the font. Maybe there is other
solution?
The font is called Cononet (W1), in Office2000's font selector, it has a
printer-liked icon with it, other than a double-T true type font icon. So
that I think it was a printer defined font. Such computer has been
reintalled serveral times. Each installation, I paid a lot effort to keep
the origianl data. And that's why the font is retained till now. What I am
facing is these font must be used in another computer. I think I must
install such font to that computer. Where can I locate a printer defined
font? I've tried windows\fonts directory. Nothing found!
Thanks in advance.

Alan

The Coronet font was a font used in older HP machines. The cartiges for those machines were discontinued last July. MS once had a package called "HP TrueType Font Pack", but that too has been eliminated. I suggest either (and I know you don't want to) change the font, or continur to use the same printer.

Hi - If it shows in Office then it should be on your system. Look in C:\WIN*\FONTS for CONONET*.*. Copy that to the C:\WIN*\FONTS of the other system.

As an option you can replace the font with another font that is on the sysetm. Forget how todo this, it's a substitue setup in MS Word (maybe Excell and others). It tells MS Word to use whenever it sees CONONET.

If you still have the printer and need the font for that, might check with the printer mfg.

Some fonts are licensed, not supposed to copy unless you have/buy source.
