[mso] Re: WORD 2000, general font compatibility?

Yes, superscripts and subscripts *should* be fine.  But, if you are
concerned with the L and I problem, you would have that with Comic Sans
also, since it too is a sans serif font....you would probably want to stick
to serif fonts if that's a concern (serif have the little doohickeys at the
ends of letters, like Times New Roman)

Anyway, here's a site that lists the common fonts installed with Windows and
shows examples, so you can use this list as a guideline, but remember
there's NO guarantee people will have any font you use cuz anyone can delete
any font they want...

Subject: [mso] WORD 2000, general font compatibility?

I have transcribed a lengthy will (51 hand written pages, gosh!) from about
1805. I have used some decorative fonts to help me when I read this. These
are fonts I either bought or download (they did not come with the computer).

Now I want to share it with two other family relatives. Believe or not, I am
not sure what to change the font to so that there will be little doubt that
their Word 2000 can open it without boxy symbols. Arial is out- the lower
case "L" and capital "I" (eye) is too confusing. So the question is what
font to use- is comic sans on everyone's copy of Word 2000?

Second question: If I have use a lot of superscripts, and subscripts, they
too will open on another Word 2000 as it does on mine, right? I just want as
little room for mis-reading as possible.

Thanks.

Robert
