RE: [newbie] import ms fonts?
In Mandrake Control Center - System - Fonts, go to the directory where all your xp fonts are, double click to enter that folder so you can see all the font names in the right window and then place ' * ' in the section where the font selected font goes, and just click which ever button imports them. It did take a long time on my lappy, but it did them all in one go.

I can honestly say that is how I did it not three days ago. And it did all of them at once.

Was he driven b y the desire for long life? He lived more than ten times the normal span of t hree hundred SY, but consider the price he paid. Was it the lure of power? H e is called the Tyrant for good reason but what did power bring him that a hum an might want? Was he driven to save humankind from itself? We have only his own words about his Golden Path to answer this and I cannot accept the self-s erving records of Dar-es-Balat.
