Download ttfext.exe and run it to install.

Then right-click on any Font file to get much info on that Font.

The font was purchased, hence why we know who the coyright holder is.

How would you know who wrote the font to ask permission ??

True, however copyright implications would prevent the
possibilty of sending
out the font for free installation.

Hi,
if the recipient does not have that Font on his
computer
then the default font takes its place. When you send
the
excel workbook, you should also send font with a note
saying that the report cannot be viewed properly if
this
font is not installed.

I have heard that this isn't possible and I think it
should be. The company
I work for and others I know all use Excel as a
significant business tool for
basic reporting. Unfortunately some corporate fonts
aren't widely available
(mine uses Dax).

Therefore, the reports in Excel are written in a font
that no-one else can
view, the end up reverting to the default, which could
mean that the
information is either illegible (because the cell size
needs to change) or
just look plain naff.

If the font was embedded (as with Word or PowerPoint)
recipients could view
the reports as they were intended.
