Fonts in Office XP

Is there an easy and free way to add a ton of fonts in Office XP, which comes with very few. If you install Word Perfect with all the fonts it comes with translate over to Word?

You could try here http://www.007fonts.com/ but being compatable with WP or Word I'm not sure

Just have to keep track of what font you install and if it don't work uninstall it

But then again just putting the words "font" into any search engine will help too

Fonts are fonts - if you install fonts with whatever program they come with they are available to any Windows program.

Thats what I thought.


I used to use a programs call "Font Facts" for win 3.x and had it for years and now with XP computers I came acrossed it and thought "Cool " so I install the fonts I wanted and BOY was that a mistake 99.9% of the font were on readable and ceased errors in all my text programs


Maybe an older type format don't work with newer PC's or maybe it's just my computer ... god only knows

Let me rephrase it, sorry - True Type fonts are cross compatible.
