Three of those do not exist among the plethora of typefaces supported by MS Word.
And so many of Microsoft fonts look similar...

I like Comic Sans!
There are so many additional typefaces available. You’re right, Jerry, it becomes annoying to try to use one that isn’t supported on the system you want to use it on. I have downloaded some for personal use though, especially calligraphy-type, and they are useful for personal use.

Yup, I downloaded over a half dozen.

I have a dyslexic issue and although I can read pretty much any word I find CALIBRI easier to read and usually I respace the lines to 1.25.
All the company stuff (before I retired) was Times new Roman at ordinary spacing and was a nightmare for me.

Not so! I used it for quite a while, and still do on occasion. I preferentially use Eras Bold ITC, Italic, now.

You might want to look a font from the American Printing House (APH) for the Blind. APHONT
I find it useful for early readers, public speakers, low light, and neighbors with vision difficulties.
Although this link says it if for Word, in Windows it can be put in the system fonts and called for any program that uses the fonts available on the system. Most font creators try to be OS independent, so I would be very surprised if it were not available on the many UNIX based OSs, and on APPLE.

Look at Directive Four, Ethnocentric, and Orbitron, which are included in my version of Word. They have a similar look to a Star Trek font.
