> It was first presented in a 2004 beta of Windows Vista, then codenamed Longhorn

According to Wikipedia.

Hence my question. Even tho it wasn’t yet part of office could it have been selected if it was installed on the OS?

chris_wot is saying that the first public beta was in 2006, so a beta in 2004 would have been internal to Microsoft (ignoring any leaked versions)

According to Wikipedia it shipped with longhorn beta in 2004, but was part of office 2007 beta in 2006.

So even tho you couldn’t get it on windows xp at the time. If you were using a beta version of longhorn with office 2003 you could in theory use the font...

That’s my thinking. I just donno if that would work.
