Fonts - signature font lost in list of fonts

In the list for fonts to be used for New Mail, the signature font choice is
now missing. Is there a way to update font choices or download new ones? At
the end of my e-mail message it was nice to use the signature font for my
name - but now it's gone and I miss it. Any and all help is appreciated.

 

Control Panel->Fonts.
Verify it is truly missing.

If truly missing:
Use system file checker to replace the font from your
installation CD/DVD. Open a Command Prompt Window
(Start->Programs) type SFC /scannow. Then press enter.

You realize, whatever font you use, it has to be on the
recipient's computer, or they will not see it? It is only
safe to choose from a handful of fonts.

 

The font is missing from Control Panel > Fonts. I don't have an installation
CD/DVD, as this is an OEM version that came with the computer. I just cannot
figure out why it disappeared (and it's always a font you want that
disappears, right?). So, there is no way to download new fonts from
Windows/Microsoft? I checked the available downloads and the only ones I
could find were for XP/Outlook Express and none of them work on
Vista/Windows Mail.

 

Never had to replace any fonts....
First I read this:
jeffmilner.com » Blog Archive » Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack:
'jeffmilner.com » Blog Archive » Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack'
(http://tinyurl.com/94894u)

He says, Cnv.exe contains the Vista Fonts.
Then searching Microsoft...cnv.exe can be downloaded.
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
2007 File Formats:
'Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

(http://www.microsoft.com/nz/office/preview/beta/converter.mspx)

Hope that works for you.

 

The compatibility packs are good for Office but they don't apply to Mail.
Thanks for trying to help me.

 

ALL Vista fonts are usable in every Windows application
MS Office, Internet Explorer, Windows Mail, WordPad, etc
You can also use any fonts from XP as well (or even othe
versions of Windows). Vista is backwards compatible

True Type Fonts (TTF
Open Type Fonts(OTC
bitmapped font

What is the name of the font you need? It may not b
included that Office pack. There is no font calle
signature font that comes with Vista

 

There is no signature font in Vista? I was using what was called "Signature"
for several months until, after an update, it disappeared. Hmmmmm - Well, if
Signature doesn't exist then I guess I'll no longer be able to "sign my
name" at the end of an e-mail. I tried to install some XP fonts but was
unable to do it - guess I'll have to try again (I did look up the
instructions for adding fonts and perhaps I originally missed a step). I
couldn't find the font in MS Office Power Point Viewer 2007. Again, thanks
for trying.

 

Just guessing? But what it sounds like, since yo
had a signature for your emails, that you simpl
called a file "signature?

When you open up Windows Mail->Tools->Options
Signature Tab. Do you have a path at the ver
bottom of the Tab? (You may have called i
signature.htm) - if you do, open up that file wit
notepad and see if you designated a font style

Or maybe just explain exactly how you were gettin
your signature into Windows Mail. Was there an
image/logo along with your signature

Also, if you can identify what font you had for you
signature, you can look at all of them in Contro
Panel->Fonts to see what each one looks like
Quite possible you might pick a different font. An
can be used to make a signature

 

Since the signature font disappeared from the font list (Control Panel >
Fonts), I'll just use another font to act as a signature (something
different than the message font).
I checked the signature Tab but I have never put a signature in there. There
was no logo or image.

Again, thank you for trying to help. I'll just switch to a different
available font as a signature.
