| 2779.1 | Just copy the files to FONTS... | JULIET::HARRIS_MA | Networks Sales Exec | Tue Feb 04 1997 17:35 | 9 |
| If I remember correctly, you no longer need to INSTALL new fonts
directly, just simply copy the font files to the FONTS directory where
the rest of them are.
Then Windows95 can use any of them there.
Try it.

| I think you need to run the Fonts thing from Control Panel (not go
directly to the fonts directory) then use Install New Font that should
be on the file menu.
I suspect copying the font to the directory may not help much.

| 2779.3 | Thanks but...... | CHEFS::16.43.128.32::Mad | Aaarrr,ye lily-livered scurvy dog | Wed Feb 05 1997 07:29 | 21 |
| Thanks for the replies, sadly I have tried these. Copying into the fonts
directory does not give me the list within WORD/Excel etc, so I assume that
they have not been put into the registry(?).

This is where my problem occurs, I do not have the option on the file menu to
Install new font. I assume that the marvellous IS people here did something in
the build, but I don't know what. And neither do they.
Thanks

| 2779.4 | try this... | FIEVEL::FILGATE | Bruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452 | Wed Feb 05 1997 10:42 | 12 |
| Start -> settings -> control panel -> fonts -> file -> install new font
The last will provide a screed to point to the new font source. As was
prevously written, it appears that just dragging the new font to the
\windows\font directory may do this as well.
To check
open microsoft word, -> format -> font
the new font should show up in the left scroll box.

>>>Start -> settings -> control panel -> fonts -> file -> install new font
I just got a new system last night and I'm seeing the same problem as in .0
When you use the shortcut in the control panel to get to the fonts folder there
isn't an option to "install new font" under the file button or anything else
for that matter in the fonts folder. I have installed used the sequence you
describe under WNT 4.0 and it worked just fine but under WIN95 it doesn't
seem to work. BTW the help for WIN95 also describes what you have above.

| 2779.6 | Me too | CADSYS::GROSS | The bug stops here | Wed Feb 05 1997 12:57 | 6 |
| I had a similar problem. I tried taking one of the fonts that came
with eXcursion and installing it in the fonts folder. The keymapper
application could see the font but msworks could not. I still don't
know why not.

My machine that has the problem is also a laptop. I can't check the version
until tonight but maybe there's something screwy about laptop installs.

| 2779.10 | Desktop on V4.00.950a | CHEFS::16.37.8.20::Mad | Aaarrr,ye lily-livered scurvy dog | Thu Feb 06 1997 10:18 | 11 |
| Sorry to throw a bug in the ointment, but mine's a desktop !!
The only other thing is that mine was installed using a specific Location
Build, whereas the chap next to me had his built with the local is build disk.
Don't know but can this option to install fonts be disabled by the build disk ?
Still floundering................
