Missing Baskerville font

I have recently had to install osx onto an external hard drive to boot and run from as the drive inside my ibook G4 is scrambled.

I installed the original osx 10.3.5 and then upgraded to 10.4 and copied back my archived library and things I want to use. As far as I'm aware it should be as it was originally however I have tried to open previously written word documents and they come up with a warning that the Baskerville font that was used cannot be found. I have checked the fonts in the library file and there is no baskerville.

Where can it be?! I understand from the documentation that it is a system font so should get installed. Where can I get it back again from?

Thanks for any suggestions!

iBook G4 (14-inch Late 2004), Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hmm, I found this in the mac help? I have also reinstalled office (although I did do selective install of only word as I dont need entourage etc)
Should I install it again?
