I also lost the Papyrus font last year (and found a replacement), and back then I was using winXP like today, and Word97 (with which all my texts until march this year had been written).

So far two guys have sent me a Bernhard Modern Roman font, while I need Bernard (without h) Modern Roman, which looks very similiar, but the design is different in sizes. berhard and Bernard fonts looks very similiar, but they are not the same series. At same font size, the text size grows from 93 to 98 pages, and still vital text formatting is messed up, cannot be cured by simply adjustijng font size: none of the sizes matches. It's a different font.

Back then (Papyrus-event) I assumed that the font was deleted intentionally by any Windows-update, becasue the font was no longer available as a free font, anymore. If this is true, i consider this to be slippery business-doing by font-companies that claim the rights now for somethign that has been there for years and that they have not produced themselves.

Unfortunately I have done several texts with that font, BMR. It's a good looking one. Noone has it? That is strange, isn't it. We do not talk about an separate downloaded addon I installed separately. I used to have it there always, since many years.

The Nupital BT font also has dissappeared. Thank God I only used it for creating major capital letters (Absatzinitiale) at the beginning of new chapters. Nevertheless, since years it was there, came with Win98 and Word97 - and now it is not there anymore.

Imagoine a bureau, and they do all office work with a given font, for years. then suddenly the font is deleted and some company claims payment for it, years later - if you do not want to buy it six years later, you need to reformat all documents from those six years. This cannot be meant serious, eh?
