Hi,

Two Options:

Make a work folder - say C:\Tempfont
Put the CD in the drive and exit from the auto-run.

Start - Run - CMD.EXE
and in that give the letter of the CD drive (say Z - so
Z:
CD i386
EXPAND *.TT_ C:\TEMPFONT
EXPAND *,FO_ C:\TEMPFONT
C:
CD \TEMPFONT
REN *.TT_ *.TTF
REN *.FO_ *.FON
EXIT

That will extract all 298 fonts to C:\TEMPFONT. You can then go to the Fonts
folder, Browse to C:\Tempfont, and select the ones you need.

Check the 'Copy to fonts folder' box before OK. Once you are sure you
have everything you need, you can delete the work folder.

Option #2:

Move the contents of the Fonts folder to an empty folder. By opening the
Fonts folder, select all the fonts, copy them, and paste them to a new
folder.

Open your registry and find the key below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Highlight the key and press DELETE. Once the key has been deleted create a
new key to replace it, by selecting Edit -> New -> Key and name the new key
[Fonts].

Restart the computer, then re-install the fonts by opening the Control
Panel, double-click on 'Fonts'. And from the File menu select 'Install New
Fonts...' adding the fonts that were previously copied to the temporary
directory.
