Windows comes with standard installed fonts.In addition to these one can always download fonts from the web or install them from software.
Lets consider a hypothetical situation.....
suppose Computer A has been installed with an additional font say a handwriting font such as Hanshand in addition to the standard fonts already installed on the system...
suppose Computer A sends a worddocument with the Hanshand script to Computer B which doesn't have Handshand script,

My question is...would Computer B be able to view the document with Hanshand script sent by Computer A at all or would there be an error message or would the document be opened with some other script?If there is a problem viewing the font which is not installed what is the best way to view it then?

If B won't have the font installed then it would be viewed by the default font (MS sans Serif).

in case you have a residing house windows computer first get carry of the font. it often is compressed in a .zip. Exctract it and you will see a million or 2 font data. click initiate, then run, then form in fonts. it would open up a folder. Then drag the font record into the folder and it would teach a loading bar. it would take a 2d or 2 for it to place in. After that your all accomplished. you could delete the font record which you extracted because of the fact it somewhat is going to be in the fonts folder already.

you will want to type up your stuff in a program like illustrator, and select your type, and hit "create outlines." this way, illustrator changes your font into a picture, and another computer, w out that specific font, will be able to view it.

save several versions, so you can modify it later, bc you cannot modify after you change it to create outlines.
