The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen the Path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file does not contain the Windows directory and drive letter, you may receive the following error message if you install TrueType fonts from a logical drive other than the one containing Windows.
Unable to Create File: Unable to install the <Font Name> font. The font file may be damaged. Check with your font vendor about obtaining a new file. CAUSEThis error message can occur under the following conditions:
WORKAROUNDCheck the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be sure that your Windows directory and drive letter are in the Path statement. If they are missing, add them. If the Path statement is okay, your CONTROL.EXE file may be corrupt. Use the EXPAND utility to copy this file from the original Windows disks to your Windows directory. From the MS-DOS prompt, enter a command similar to the following
expand <a>:control.ex_ <c>:\<windows>\control.exewhere <a>: is your floppy drive letter, <c> is your hard drive letter, and <windows> is your Windows directory.
MORE INFORMATIONIf you attempt to install TrueType fonts from the same logical drive and the drive letter for the WINDOWS directory is not included, then the FOT and TTF files are be placed in the WINDOWS directory instead of the SYSTEM subdirectory.
