Previously on my mac I had Tiger 10.4.11 installed and had also installed the Office for Mac 2004 Free 30 Day trial, (which was on the tiger boot disk I have).
Being none the wiser I thought all fonts that I used on my mac were installed when I installed Tiger.

Now after performing a clean install of Leopard 10.5.4 on my mac's reformatted HD and after a bit of google searching, I realise that certain fonts were only installed after running the Office trial software.

I was particularly fond of the Bookman Old Style font which I used as my default in Mail but now I can't install it without going to some font website and downloading it for £26.


So my question is,

can I install the Office trial software (which came on my Tiger boot disk) on my HD now running Leopard and therefore obtain access to the fonts that come with it?

And also if that is possible, is there any way to just install the fonts off the disc instead of the whole Microsoft software?

thanks for reading, b.
