I am using Office 2010 Home and Student Edition on Windows 7 Home Premium.  After a recent automatic update, I now have problems.  When I start Office, I get the "installing updates, please wait" splash screen.  When the green progress bar is almost complete, I get the "Error 1907.  Could not register font" error message.  If I chose "Ignore" or "Retry", I am stuck in a loop.  The only option is to "Abort".  Then I get a message that the changes are being rolled back.  I can now use Word with no problems until the Microsoft mothership releases another update for Office.  Then I go through this nonsense again.

Probably you have already replied to this post about the known fix for this known problem.  If you have bothered to read this far, I can tell you that I have tried the SFC /SCANNOW fix, and it does not work for my problem.  The scan completed and reported no problems.  I did not have a problem when installing Office, and I am not running Vista or Server 2008, which seem to be the circumstances the SFC fix addresses.

For now I have turned off Microsoft Updates (leaving Windows Updates active), but this is not a real fix.

Hi,

You can first try the method provided by Ron-Ray in the following thread:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/error-1907-could-not-register-font-verify-that-you/57f3a671-feec-4dc7-873c-bb2a7de9521f

I paste his reply here:

Error 1907 occurs when a program is uninstalled and/or another program installed (usually Office 2000, 2010 or 2013) that does not install the ".TTF" files (font files with the .ttf extension). 
The required font files need to be replaced to the "C\Windows\Font" directory (folder) on your hard drive .

The "sfc /scannow" command does not always remedy this. If not, follow the procedure below.

--------------------------------------
1. Create a temporary folder, [C:\temp] 
2. *Search file OWOW64WW.cab, ProPsWW.cab and ProPsWW2.cab in your Microsoft Office installation source (Office 2010), since this is what causes this error *most of the time. 
*or search for: "owow32ww.cab, proprww.cab and proprww2.cab" in the "proplusr.ww" installation directory of Microsoft Office 2000. 

* (Office 2000 installation: search in the "drive\Windows\Fonts" directory.)

3. Copy all the ".ttf" files there to the "temp" folder you created. 

Find and copy all the font files to your temporary folder. (Extract them all using Winrar or 7-zip, if they are in a cabinet ".cab" file. 

4. "Paste" all the font files in to: 'C:\Windows\Font' folder of your hard drive. (overwrite all). 

5. Re-start your program (Office, etc.) and the installation will complete with no further "Error 1907" warnings.

If above not work, try to copy the font from another Windows 7 Home Premium computer, and paste it to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder to check the result.

Note: please make sure you have backed up the folder before you conduct the copy/paste step.

Hope it helps.
