Do you have any "font management" programs on your box such as Adobe Type Manager Deluxe (not the free one) or BitStream Font Navigator? If you do, they could have the font installed, but turned "off" which basically means they are registered with the OS but are not loaded into memory and thus unavailable for use. If you do not have a program such as this loaded, then it can be 2 things (that I have had experience with). You have exceeded the number of fonts allowable on your system (I am still unsure as to NT's theoretical maximum, but I try and keep it lower than 500). I have had 1200 on a box before and never experienced any problems (but it does slow the box down). If this is the case, simply remove some fonts (not a fun task, as you must go through and remove the ones you do NOT use frequently one by one...) Or your registry could have become corrupt (happens more often in 95/98 than in NT however, as NT is supposed to have a "self-healing registry"), in which case, I would have to agree with Gateway's suggestion. I would start with the SP and if that didn't cut it, go for the re-install... Brad Boutwell BDB Design Tulsa, OK ********************* I am having a problem with installing new fonts on a gateway NT 4.0 computer. Every time I attempt to install a few select fonts, it reports back that the font is already installed on this computer. Now I have checked with gateway and they suggest reinstalling NT or even just the sevice pack. I believe both of these answer to be crazy and they are just trying to cut down on their support time on the phone while increasing my headache. I have had others tell me that if another program on the NT station has it as part of its font collection then NT will report it as a system wide font even though you cannot use it in other applications. I have been unable to find the offending programing that may contain the font. Is there anyway to workaround this? I would appreciate any input on this matter since I need this font for a time sensitive project I'm working on. PCSOFT's List Owner's: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
