    Microsoft Word changes the font type on another computer


    Hi,

    I use Word 2019 and had to move the file I work on another laptop.
    Before opening the file, I installed every font used inside.
    The problem is when I open the file, Word shows the text with different font even though the font I use for titles shown up there.
    When I select the title and apply the font, everything is fine but checking every title and applying the font is going to take too much time. I appreciate if you can assist me on this matter.

    I attach the font as well

    :)

    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.

    Sometimes a program will interpret or approximate a Font, use one it feels is similar. When I installed it on my Desktop I showed 2 Old English Fonts but a fresh download of your file on my Notebook shows only file name of Old English ATT Bold so I don't know which of the many programs installed created the other one.

    How did you install the Font? Just copying it to the Fonts folder is the first step, it then needs installing so programs know about it. I just extracted the Font from the compressed file, right-clicked it and Installed, Word liked it but the document I chose had to have text selected then change the Font for it. Can't say that will always work with a document brought in that contains the reference to that particular Font [or any other]. Sometimes a program will balk in editing a foreign document but I always get a yellow banner warning when doing so.
