Calibri, Candara, Corbel...

New Windows Vista and Windows 7 contains new and very nice fonts. Jealous? No need, because as XP user you can get these fonts as follows: Visit www.tinyurl.com/ppv2007nl and install free PowerPoint Viewer 2007: You now own fonts like Calibri, Corbel Candara, even if you uninstall the Viewer afterwards.

Minion Pro

You can also obtain the font "Minion Pro".
If you don't have this font, it is easy to obtain for FREE:

Step 1: When Adobe Reader is not already installed on your PC, download it for free at www.adobe.com and install it.

Step 2: After you install Adobe Reader on your PC there is a folder with fonts, (for example) at the following location: C: \ Program Files \ Adobe \ Reader9.0 \ Resource \ Font.
In this folder you will find the Minion Pro font.
You can see the files MinionPro-Regular.otf, MinionPro-Bold.otf, MinionPro BoldIt.otf-and-MinionPro It.otf.
The font, however, can not be used yet by other windows programs from this location. Therefore, we still need to install it in the correct way.

Windows XP: Go to Control Panel and launch the utility "Fonts". Choose the option "Install New Font" and then browse to the font folder (the same as step 2) of Adobe Reader. When the correct folder is opened, windows showes the fonts in the folder. You can now install these fonts.

Windows 7: Open the directory where you downloaded the fonts (same as step 2) and look for all the files ending with .OTF. Both fonts Myriad and  MinionPro are visible. Select all files that start with Minion and then using the right mouse button menu, choose "Install".

After installing the new fonts are visible and usable in MSWord!
