Fonts- -problem

[Jack Nation]

When I purchased my present computer, it came with Windows XP which has it's
own type of fonts installed.

Now I find a few apps Like Printshop calling for certain fonts to open my
own the old files I made while using Win95, Win98 etc. How can I extract
those earlier font files from the Win95/98 CD's?

Use Windows Explorer, Start/All Programs/Accessories/Windows Explorer
Open it and navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts (that is the WinXP fonts directory
Now insert your Printshop CD, click probably "D" drive and navigate to its fonts director
Now you can copy and paste (rightclicking) the fonts from the CD to the WinXP directory
A better way would be to install Printshop to your new WinXP PC and all the font
will automatically install with the application
If the Printshop program will not run in XP, try Compatibility mod
Start/All Programs/Accessories/Program Compatibility Wizard
