Is your NTFS partition mounted 'rw' or 'ro'? I don't use NTFS, but last time I checked, it was read-only support (or possibly write support was an 'experimental' option and disabled by default). When you add True-Type Fonts, you still need to have a 'fonts.dir' file. Is mcc trying to create this file on a read-only partition? I know...more questions than answers, but since I don't use NTFS, I'm just speculating.
