But don't take my word for it....please. I had no problem getting the fonts from my winME partition. I followed the directions that I found here: http://lli.linux-bangalore.org/ttfonts.php Check it out, and see what you think. Maybe someone else more knowledgable can advise you more.
Good luck to you! All the best. --Angus How do you destroy a righteous person? Give him or her one follower! --ancient Cherokee saying (fr.
