Installed fonts not displayed in Microsoft Word show Device Font 10, 12 & 17cpi

Word is irrevocably tied to the Windows printer driver. It needs a printer driver available in order to format the document correctly. If there is no printer driver installed or you have a printer driver which cannot use fonts set as default, such as the Generic / Text only driver, as shown below, only a token selection of fonts will be shown in the font drop down menu - as above.
Change the default printer to a printer driver that can use fonts, such as the Epson ink jet available on the PC used in this example (see below) and the fonts immediately become available.
