Where are my fonts in MS Word 2003?

No installed fonts displayed in Word.

Word is irrevocably tied to the Windows printer driver. It needs a printer driver available in order to format the document correctly. If there is no printer driver installed or you have a printer driver which cannot use fonts set as default, such as the Generic / Text only driver, as shown below, only a token selection of fonts will be shown in the font drop down menu - as above.

Change the default printer to a printer driver that can use fonts, such as the Epson ink jet available on the PC used in this example (see below) and the fonts immediately become available.

Select a different printer, or install one if there isn't one installed. Word shows only those fonts supported by the current printer.

Because Word aspires to be a WYSIWYG program, it is heavily dependent on the printer driver. It gets its information about what fonts are available from the printer driver for the default printer. If you don't have a printer set as the default or have a Generic/Text Only printer selected, you will see a very limited font list.

Sometimes this problem will arise even when a default printer is selected. This may be an indication that the printer driver is corrupted. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the printer. Sometimes it is sufficient to switch to a different printer and back.

If you will not be printing from the computer where you are working, install the driver for the printer you will ultimately be using (it doesn't have to be attached to your computer); be aware, though, that the font selection available to that printer will depend on the fonts available in the computer it is connected to, so, unless you plan to embed TrueType fonts in your document (and font embedding can be a very complex issue), you should stick to the Windows core fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, Symbol, Wingdings, and so on) or fonts that you are sure both computers share.
