Any Excel gurus here?

December 10, 2012, 02:57 AM

I know, seriously OUT THERE right?
Anyway, I am trying to figure out why a particular font is working in MS Word, but not Excel. It isn't even available in the list in Excel, and when you copy/past from word it gets turned into Arial. I have Googled extensively and can find nothing that verifies that some fonts just don't work in Excel, but that sure seems to be what this looks like.
FWIW, the font in question is DIN Regular. But I did some searching and found Segan Light as a free option, and that also doesn't seem to work in Excel. :banghead:

Any insight GREATLY appreciated!

I've had good luck at Excel Help Forum they might be able to help out.

Hey Gordon,

Just tested that font on my own PC and it works just fine, even in Excel (2010 though). Try reinstalling the font and/or reboot your computer.
