Sorry, I was sloppy in identifying the font. We don't have either.
Applications are warning about Arial MT Rounded Bold not being
available, and offering to replace it with another font, which I do not
want to do since I have documents going back many years which use it.

It was the warnings that made me realize that the font was missing from
my new PC.

I know that it is not installed: I checked. I don't have every
possible Office component installed, e.g. an oriental Office font. My
new PC is a Dell and has an OEM version of Office Basic, and Dell did
the install -- but it is not obvious to me that this font would
rationally be tied to any component which is not installed.
I suppose I could get the font from my old version of Office 2003, but
it would not be the latest version of the font, I am sure.
Any specific suggestions of where we can go from here? If the missing
font is tied to a specific component, it would be helpful to know which.
Maybe I'll have to try Dell support, but user communities are usually
more helpful than big corporations. It may seem a minor issue, but as I
said earlier, I have a *lot* of old documents that use it, and font
substitution does not always have pleasant consequences.
