    Hi!

    I've been having a weird problem with delayed typing in Word 365 that only recently started happening.

    Basically, Word suffers a bad case of delayed typing if certain fonts are installed. When I first noticed this problem I did a bunch of web searching and tried various things, but didn't have much luck. I also contacted Microsoft support and they had me a do a bunch of things I'd already done and they couldn't help.

    After trying many, many things to troubleshoot this, I noticed that the problem only happens when certain fonts are installed. There's nothing wrong with these fonts as I've used them for years - on different PCs, different Windows versions, different Office versions - with no issue. But recently - maybe after an update? - this problem has surfaced.

    The fonts in question: Adobe Caslon Pro, Adobe Garamond Pro, Amasis MT, Minion Pro, and possibly CCNearMythLegends W00. There might be others, but I haven't tried them.

    Also, I don't have many fonts installed; usually around 200.

    Also, also, these fonts are used in custom templates. Not sure why that would matter, but I figured I'd mention it.

    Some of the things I have tried:
    - rebooting
    - check the event logs (nothing pertinent)
    - uninstalling office, rebooting, reinstalling office
    - uninstalling office with the removal tool, rebooting, reinstalling office
    - sfc
    - DISM
    - check file/folder permissions
    - check registry key permissions
    - check services permissions
    - check WMI
    - check component stores and COM+
    - check missing packages
    - update Windows
    - update Office
    - update drivers

    The only thing that I've done, so far, that has made the problem go away is uninstalling the aforementioned fonts.

    Ideas?

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. In word 365 my typed characters do not appear

    I type in word, 365 and the characters do not show. The word count shows them. My font is black, my overtype option is off, however, i can type in an older version saved document.

    Microsoft Word changes the font type on another computer

    Thank you for your answer. Normally, the first thing I do is copying the font file under "Fonts" folder.
    When I open the file, I can see the font on the dropdown list but Word applies "Old English Text MT" font to titles.
    I've never used this font and I know the title of the font I use is similar to this one but the point I do not understand is why Word decides to use a random font with similar title? Is there a setting/check box somehwere I'm missing? This is so annoying because I have never experienced it before and it is happening now.

    Fonts in Word Don't Show in InDesign

    Was trying to use a font from Word in InDesign but saw that it wasn't there. Noticed this is the case with a lot of other fonts - I'm able to use them in Word, Excel or Powerpoint, but they aren't available in the font lists for InDesign or Illustrator.
    They also don't appear in the main font folder on my Local Disk. Was hoping to be able to access the same fonts from all of my applications, but are certain fonts only usable in certain applications?
