win2k and the other CD with fonts

[mikesw]

I have win 2k Pro Sp4 that I bought from my company. Microsoft's site says they have a CD with more fonts that came with the

Win 2K OS CD. However, the company doesn't have this font CD.

a). How can I get this CD of fonts that MSoft says comes with the OS CD. What are the font names that were on this CD?

see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows20...ts_overview.htm

b ). Are these now free since fonts had to be licensed way back then.

c). I didn't see any updates to fonts or the service packs to add more fonts

on MSofts site other than for XP. These would be new opentype,freetype,cleartype,truetype,vector, raster, etc

d). Have the 'font embedding' restrictions been removed now for WIn 2K or later for xp, vista?

e). Is the tool "Font Properties Extension Tool" still available. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...6.mspx?mfr=true

f). Can the fonts that are installed on XP or Vista be zipped up and copied over to Win 2K to bring that up to date.

g). Is there a list of any known language(s) that aren't supported by MSofts fonts that one can then look for

to fill the missing languages.

I realize, that there are a alot of font packages out there on the net, but first I'd like to start with Msofts fonts first.
