SUMMARY

It is possible to use Bitstream fonts with Microsoft Word for Windows that were designed for Word for DOS version 5.0. However, they must first be re-created using Bitstream's FontWare installation package for the version of Windows that you have.

Using Bitstream soft fonts not created specifically for Windows may cause bold or other undesirable characters. Reinstalling the fonts with Bitstream's FontWare installation package for Windows will provide correct font display and printing.
