As an answer to my own question and also
thanks to Dave Fawthrop, Google informed me (after I couldn't find it on the MS
site that Andale and Georgia are no longer supplied by MS. I now keep a copy of
all my fonts somewhere else than Windows so I can retrieve them later. It turns
out that Andale formerly Monotype mono in W3.1 was included in IE4 and IE5 but
discontinued with IE6. I still have the old subscription freebies from AOL etc
that had IE5 and IE4 on them. They have the fonts in CAB files. I managed to
extract the "supplementary Fonts" from the IE5 setup disk using WINRAR, a
shareware program which busts out cab files. Georgia was also there.
Apparently around 2000 MS offered also unicode versions of the core fonts, I
don't know if they are still available, called "Fonts 2000". The DP font is a
little more distinctive and ugly for proofing purposes, but Andale does the
trick too and looks better.
Moral--never throw anything away!

I used to have the Andale Mono ttf font, but
since I reinstalled windows and Office it has disappeared. Where did it come
from ? Font has all distinguishable characters.
