I couldn't say, I wasn't the one who created it, and don't have direct
access to that person. I can only assume Word...?

I did this and get: DejaVuSans, Georgia, TimesNewRomanPSMT,
TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT, Georgia-Bold, DejaVuSans-Bold.

I'm not too sure what to do with this information, though, I admit...?

Yes, yes, and yes. I have only ever installed Ubuntu's default fonts
plus the msttcorefonts package, which is quasi-default. The .fonts was
created when I installed by the double-click method.

I just tried it this way, with the same result.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you here, this is what I just did at Tim's
advice. It doesn't seem to have worked.

The only one I'm missing is "Ref", which I can't imagine would make a
difference...? Also, mine use underscores rather than spaces between the
words, could that be relevant?

Thanks to you all for your help! This problem seems really trivial, but
is actually keeping me from doing editing work.

If you have any last ideas, please let me know.
