Ok, I see the problem. The easiest solution is to (since he has
	320 megs) is to rename the second set of fonts with
 an 'a' suffix. 
  
 Like disk 1: brick/55/44/33
      disk 2: brick/11/13/9billion

      On the hard drive:

      Fonts:
	brick/55/44/33
	bricka/11/13/9billion
	brick.font
	bricka.font

	This *WILL* solve your problem, in a big hurry to, if
	you have to please (appease) a client. If you
	are unable to find software to do the .font conversion
	this'll work!
