I have Lucida Handwriting Font on my computer. I can see it when I use Word
or Outlook from Microsoft Office. However, it does not show up in the list
for OE. We switched to a new computer. My husband only uses OE and wants to
write with Lucida Handwriting font. How do I make it available to OE?

It should be listed under Control Panel | Fonts and OE should then pick it
up in its list. Only users who have that font installed will be able to see
it.

Open Outlook Express, click Tools/Options/Compose and click the Fonts
Settings button on that page (and do it for both Plain Text and HTML). You
should see a dropdown menu for changing Fonts there, assuming Lucida is
installed on the computer.

I used to have it available (WinXP SP2, fully patched) but I noticed quite
some time ago that it's no longer there. WTF?

I found the answer. You both were right. However, it was NOT installed on my
husbands computer. It was only on mine, I was wrong. He was busy using his
computer and since we have the same things installed....I thought if I had it
on mine, he had it on his. Not true! I found the font in my C:/Windows/Fonts
folder, copied it on a flash drive, added it to my husbands computer and
installed it via Control Panel, Fonts, File, Add Font option. Thanks for your
help.
