The following fonts are included with Windows and are installed on every computer:

Courier New (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)

Arial (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)

Times New Roman (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)

Symbol (TrueType)

Wingdings (TrueType)

MS Serif

MS Sans Serif

If any of the standard fonts that are included with Windows are missing, you can run Windows Setup again Setup replaces missing or changed files If these standard fonts are missing, other Windows files may also be missing, and Setup corrects these problems.
