WAG - That's my eternal modus operendi <g>

He does say that it shows in Word, Excel, etc. but just not my application which uses GETFONT().

I'm kicking myself as I write this for not thinking of telling him to enter it manually in the GETFONT() dialog box but I just emailed him to do so and to report back.

To create my own list do you know if AFONTS() will show the hard fonts installed on a printer? I don't have a printer with internal fonts to be able to check this out.

Thanks for the help.
