I don't have access to actually DO anything to the other font files, or to add fonts, but I can put in a link.Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875524315648682422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650649138973583402.post-76217273429258790442009-03-03T15:29:00.000-06:002009-03-03T15:29:00.000-06:00In Windows, a Font can be a Virus.

Non-admin users cannot install their own fonts. This is broken behavior to me, because it's so easy to install my own (local) fonts under Linux.JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264061238864151815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650649138973583402.post-9143217779408104162009-02-27T16:26:00.000-06:002009-02-27T16:26:00.000-06:00Probably a stupid question, but did you try copyin...Probably a stupid question, but did you try copying the fonts one at a time? Click and drag, not copy and paste, too. That really pissed me off in Windows. When I moved to Linux it was a welcome relief that the fonts folders were just folders.
