No, about trouble installing fonts in XP. Is this he wrong NG?
Download, install, and run Microsofts' free TweakUI. Run the "repair
font folder". (the last item on the list is "Repair"; select "repair
font folder" from the drop-down menu).

The cause is usally that the Fonts folder has been diddled with and
has lost its "System File" attribute.

Thanks, I'll try it.

This is the only current font-related Microsoft forum; it's probably
more attuned to questions like this than the more general operating
system fora.

The system attribute is normally the problem and the DOS fix is the
solution in the majority of the last few hundred responses I have made
to similar problems. The Fonts folder will not function as a special
folder without the system attribute. The other common problem is that
the hidden desktop.ini is missing or corrupt and TweakUI will fix
that.
There is a third problem mentioned here but, in my experience, this
one is uncommon.
(Fontext.dll file may be missing or damaged)
