Some true type fonts are missing when a hardrive is changed from one computer to another

I get a System Error divide by zero or overflow error trying to open old software that worked well on XP home on a computer with an AMD processor. My new computer has XP professional with a pentium 4 processor. Any clues

When the hard drive is in a computer running XP home all fonts are available particularly Commercial Script BT. When the hard drive is placed in a computer running XP pro this particular font is not available. Word documents using this font on the first computer are fine. The same documents on the second computer have a default font although the font box states it is Commercial Script BT. An ideas oh gurus

Look up "embed true type fonts in document" in Word Help.

This procedure will ensure that your special font is available within the document 
so that any computer will be able to display and print it regardless of the installed 
fonts on that particular computer.
