Verdana font?

[John Smart]

My new WinXP laptop from Dell does not provide the
Verdana font. I thought all Windows o.s. versions had
Verdana, as it's fairly common on web sites and (I
thought) in ms-word. I searched microsoft.com for a way
to download / install the Verdana font - no luck. Can
anyone point me in the right direction? I'm running WinXP
5.1 Build 2600.xpsp2.030427-1633. Many thanks, John

Copy it from another XP machine?

.... and then reinstall it on the machine you copied from or it will be
missing from that machine.

I have to ask - why will it be missing?

John,

The reason it will be missing is because...?

Do a search for Verdana.tt_. You should have a compressed copy in your I386
folder. If you do, you can use expand.exe {same folder} to expand a copy to
your Fonts folder and then use Control Panel, Fonts to install the font.

If I copy a font from the fonts folder it uninstalls it from the fonts
folder (XP Home). I read in a post somewhere that this is to do with
copyright. I don't know if this happens with all or some fonts.

If you open a window on Windows\Fonts and another in some other folder,
and right drag; copy here across, it does not get deleted

I must be wrong then, I will do some experiments at a later time.
