Good piece of description here. One big change I made concerning fonts was that I copy the LUND fonts to c:\windows\fonts at program startup (if they are not already there). Previously they were copied there by the install program. But I changed that because during uninstall it asked whether you wanted to delete c:\windows\fonts and some people deleted their entire font directory. I was trying to avoid anyone inadvertantly destroying their font directory but it looks like a new problem has been introduced. I wonder if CFT-Win does not recognize the fonts after it has already started: ie they need to be copied to c:\windows\fonts BEFORE CFT-Win starts up. But then all this works wonderfully on my computer (in fact two computers). I even tried it again just now. Delete LUND fonts from c:\windows\fonts. Run CFT-Win and then it tells me that the fonts were copied. I press OK and the program starts and all works fine!! What a mess!!! I hate these problems that aren't problems on my machine. I can have such a time trying to figure them out.
