MIssing fonts when looking at screen.fonts

My application allows the user to select fonts. I fill in a combo box
control with the available fonts by looping through all System.Fonts:
' Get all the screen fonts
ReDim sFontNameList(Screen.FontCount - 1)
For i = 0 To Screen.FontCount - 1
sFontNameList(i) = Screen.Fonts(i)
Next i
Although I haven't checked all fonts, I know I'm missing one font in
particular -- Monotype Corsiva.
Some additional info:
My client runs the application on two machines -- both Windowx XP. On
of the machines worked fine, the other did not. When I troubleshot the
problem it boiled down to one machine not having Monotype Corsiva
installed (it did not have MS Office installed, which I believe is
where Monotype Corsiva comes from)
Happy with my discovery, I simply installed the font on the other
machine and it worked fine -- since I make Monotype Corsiva one of the
Default Fonts (I assumed it was a standard WIN XP Font -- my mistake).
Once I installed the font the program worked, however the Font was
still not showing up in my font selection combobox control. It does
however show up in charmap so I know it's installed, but it doesn't
seem to show up in screen.fonts(i).
Any ideas? By the way, I'm using VB 5.0(SP3) Enterprise Edition.
Thanks in advance,
-Bill
