XP Font Problem

Garrison

I am having an issue with several fonts on a Windows XP workstation. The
fonts are TrueType fonts, and work correctly on other workstations (Windows
98 and Windows XP) in the office. I have tried the following magic on the
offending workstation:
Ran TweakUI's repair font folder utility.
Manually re-attrib'ed the font folder +r+s
Re-created registry settings for TrueType fonts
Scanned font files with FontAgent - fontagent reported files as valid
Applied RITA tools as described in RFC 2321

Can anyone help me find a solution to this? Anywhere else I should look?
Google groups and support.microsoft.com have turned up nothing so far.

I might suggest un-installing all the questionable fonts, rebooting and
then re-installing them. You might do the same with all the fonts not being
used by any active system.

Joseph,
Thanks for your help. The problem I am experiencing is that the fonts
will not even install on this particular workstation. They will however
install and work correctly in other workstations in the office.

-Garrison
PS: I accidentally double posted my initial message. Please reply to the
other message in the future.
