Install new fonts not displayed under 'file'

[Guest]

I am having trouble installing new fonts on to my computer. It seems that the
option to "install new fonts" under the file option is not displayed. Any
ideas?

"You can also drag OpenType, TrueType, Type 1, and raster fonts from another
location to add them to the Fonts folder. This works only if the font is not
already in the Fonts folder."

How To Install or Remove a Font in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314960

Try this to see if it helps to fix your Fonts folder.

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
In the command prompt type:

cd\windows

Hit your Enter key.

Then type:

attrib +s +r fonts

Hit your Enter key.

Close the command prompt and reboot your computer.

The above from this...

If that did not help, either post back or see: Windows 2000 under RESOLUTION
in the above article.

The recommendation is to download, install, and run Microsoft's free
TweakUI. Run the "repair
font folder". (the last item on the list is "Repair"; select "repair font
folder" from the drop-down menu).

The cause is usually that the Fonts folder has been diddled with and has
lost its "System File" attribute.
