Restore/Redownload Windows 7 Fonts?
Hi,
I was deleting a lot of the unused fonts from my system (and "hiding" others) and found that I (naturally) deleted a few that I did NOT want to delete. But I didn't realize this until some months after my 'purge.' I know a system restore is an option, but for me it's too much for too little. I don't want to risk losing things in a restore to recover less than half a dozen fonts (which I would like back).
In searching, I saw this thread at the official MS site where the OP basically took the words right out of my mouth! The problem is that the very unhelpful response from the official rep was "try 1001freefonts.com." Duh! The fonts that I (and likely the OP) are missing are NOT 'free.'
But since I'm in the same boat now as he was then, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here. And, to use his own wording, "Is there no place where existing licensed OS users can go to download the font files and then install it themselves ?" I mean, if MS verifies proper/valid ownership of a Windows OS to do updates, they could surely allow for a re-downloading/installation of missing/corrupt/deleted fonts, right?
So, is there a way or a place to reacquire missing (or even all) Windows 7 (or to be more precise, Word 2007) fonts without using a system restore?
Thanks for any suggestions!
