There is a glitch with how fonts show in Word 2008. First and most
im****tant question. Go to Format | Font dialog. Do the missing fonts
show in the teeny scrollbox there?
If they show, then Word is reading the fonts fine, but there is a
problem with the other font menus.
If they don't show, then Word can't see the fonts at all, and it's a
totally different problem.
Second im****tant question--exactly what version of Word? have you
installed the 12.0.1 update (or the 12.1 update, just released today,
I'd let it shake out a bit before going there).
