Courier font 3.10 10-12-15 point

[John Van Kirk]

Hi everyone,
Anyone know how to get the older Courier 3.10.0.103 Font "Coure.Fon" to be
usable in Word 2007? It's the older one that looks exactly like typewriting
with the fixed spacing. The Courier New is close but not exactly what I need.
It is in my Fonts folder, but does not show up as a choice in Word 2007, but
does as a choice in Excel 2007!
If that is not possible, has anyone found a 3rd party Courier TrueType font
that matches the older standard 3.10 exactly that could be installed into the
font folder for use.

Appreciate anyone's sage advice

Fonts that have the fon extension, as in coure.fon are bit-mapped fonts
intended for use on the display rather than printing. Some time ago, in the
interests of improving print quality, Microsoft decided not to allow them to
be used for printing. For printing, a font, Courier New (if it is
installed), is usually substituted even if you can force the use of the fon
file for the display.

Commonly available Courier fonts look much the same, glyph-for-glyph. If you
could let us know what feature(s) is (are) important, perhaps someone can
suggest something suitable. e.g. I have no idea if it is suitable for your
use but-
