Fine I had the same problem with these fonts, but don't complain about the 2Megs, I have nearly 8 Megs (with theses files) and I don't want to keep them all on my hard drive but I'm having a problem selecting which ones I want to keep installed. It seems to take forever for windows to startup (Wiht ATM an so many fonts installed). What does it do - Read every single font????? I don't think so, but what slows it down!!! -- gerardis@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca | The sun is the same in a relative way, | but you're older | And shorter of breath and one day | closer to DEATH.
