Anyone know what versions of word the font linked to works with? I'm only running 2007, but while it appears to install and de-install (several times) it doesn't work - all the characters look the same, a sort of broken T.

Sorry can't help with that one. I downloaded it and installed it on a Windows 10 laptop. I don't use MS Word I use WPS Office, a Word clone. I did notice the effect you report when I tried to use it in Paint - every character the same and looking like a broken T.
Trouble is 2007 is 13 years ago, an absolute age in computer terms and I think "font technology" has changed over the years from postscript and trutype fonts to otf (open type font) which was introduced in the mid 90's. Trouble is otf is just a wrapper or interface over a ttf (true type) or ps (postscript) font and most Microsoft stuff is still ttf based under the hood so to speak. I suspect that the font I linked to has an underlying postscript format which is causing the issue with older versions of Word etc.
Having said that try this one:

Called rather imaginatively "flytrap", I assume from Venus Flytrap!. Another free font. Sort of works OK in Paint.
Both work OK in Notepad (included with all versions of Windows), can you use that?
