Missing font in new Messenger 8.5

I noticed several of my buddies have different font that I do not have. One
example is Minya Nouvelle. Would this be because my computer itself doesn't
have the font or does Messenger install additional font styles? If so, how
can I correct? I canot reinstall messenger and am afraid of uninstalling
because I dont want to loose my smileys.

thanx

Re: Missing font in new Messenger 8.5

Hi,

As I was saying before some dodgy application stole focus -- Messenger doesn't come with any
fonts, they've gotten this one from elsewhere. Unless you actually have the font installed
in your PC, you won't see it.

Quick search brings up this:
