Having a small prob with fonts. It seems that I only have fixedsys and system font. I have tried renaming the font folder and reinstalling the fonts again. This didn't work.

Any help??

Please give us some more info about your system, and anything you were doing when this happened.

My first thought is it's a Win95 system and the printer installation is corrupted or a graphics printer is not installed. In this case TrueType Fonts will not be available.

Windows 95 Computer.

Was installing a printer. . . after reboot . .. everything went wrong !

Mmm-hmm. From a disk belonging to the printer?

Un-install anything relating to the printer you were installing, then install one of Windows' own graphic printer drivers, I usually install an Epson like an LX-80 or LX-86. If the TrueType fonts are then available in apps (word processor), the install disk is probably corrupted. If it's a CD, try cleaning it or if floppy disk, find drivers on the net.

If this doesn't solve the problem, a Windows re-install may be needed, unless anyone else has another suggestion.
