In XP Pro SP3, I have a non MS CAB file with 100 font files in it where most
of them show with an abbreviated filename, along with an underscore in the
font filename.
Double clicking on a font brings up a window displaying the font characters,
and showing the proper name of the font, which is what shows in the
Windows\Fonts folder after the font is installed. So obviously the final
name is contained in the CAB font file.
Is there any process in XP where I can extract the fonts from the CAB
folder, and have the abbreviated filename automatically changed to the
proper full filename? Is there a utility around to do this?
Doing this manually is a PITA, and I would like to "automate" the process.
I want to create a backup folder with all these fonts, separated from all
the other fonts in my Windows>Fonts folder. So while they do exist with the
proper name. sorting then out from teh 500 fonts in my Windows\Fonts folder
will be a PITA.
