MS Word not recognizing font

Idris Samawi Hamid

Greetings,

I have developed a font that works in every Uniscribe application (and even some non-Uniscribe applications) that I've tried *except* for Microsoft Word. Even WordPad works. The font shows up in the font list (even with a correct preview) but Word does not let me switch to or type in that font. So, e.g., selecting all (ctrl-a) and choosing the new font does nothing.

Have any of you run into this sort of thing before? What could the cause possibly be?

Thanks in advance!
