When you open a web publication in Publisher version 2003 you will not find all the fonts installed on your system. Where did all the fonts go?
One of the most important things to remember when designing a web page is that you should only use the standardized "web safe" fonts. If you use a font other than one of the 8 web safe fonts, then your site visitor may view your content in a font their browser substitutes. That result can be unpredictable. To avoid that design 'mistake' the web publication only allows the appropriate fonts.
The 8 web safe fonts are: Arial, Comic Sans, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana.
Publisher 2003 has not removed your other fonts, it is simply hiding them in a web publication in order to help you design as a Web Professional would.
This hiding of the fonts is optional, it is simply turned on by default.
If you opt to ignore this web safe design you can disengage the safe font setting. While in a web publication go to Format menu, Font, and deselect the "show only web font" option.
Afterwards all fonts on the system will be available to your web publication.
