New install affects dwg.

I just installed LT2002 on a new laptop. When I try to open a drawing made on the old laptop that has text that fit on 3 lines, now that same text wraps and makes 4 lines. Sounded like a font was missing and ACAD was substituting a larger font causing the wrap but I double-checked that all the fonts from the old laptop are in the new laptop. Any ideas? Your help will be greatly appreciated!

If the fonts are TTF type, you actually need to install them in Windows
using the Fonts installer found in Control panels.
If you have SHX fonts, they need to be located in the FONTS sub-folder under
the LT program folder.

Thank you for your prompt reply Mr. Saadallah

I have now identified the font that the drawing is looking for and not finding. It is substituting a font which is very different than the one that was there. How can I select which font is substituted for the missing one? Thank you once again for your help.

Sorry to have wasted your time, I should've just consulted the Help menu. Then I would've known it was FONTALT. Thanks anywho.
