Fonts not selectable in Word?

This might be a dumb question, but I can't seem to get the Algerian font to be a selectable option in my Office 2000 suite. When I go into Control Panel, Fonts, the Algerian Font is there, but when I go into Word and try to change the font, Algerian isn't an option.

I thought it was possibly a printer issue, since some older printers won't let you use some type of fonts. The only thing I can tell is different about the Algerian font versus some others is that the icon representing it in Windows looks like an "O" while some other fonts have the overlaped "TT".

Any help?

Where would I find that option? Is that within Word/Office itself or a policy in Windows 2000?

Control Panel / Fonts folder
Click Tools / Folder Options
then True Type Fonts tab

Uncheck the box for
"Show only True Type fonts...."
