SYMPTOMS

When you use the Fonts applet in Control Panel to add additional fonts, you don't have the option to install any compressed non-TrueType fonts.

WORKAROUND

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. From the Control Panel window, choose the Fonts icon.

  2. Choose the Add button.

  3. Select a drive and a directory that contains one or more non-TrueType compressed fonts. For example, choose the i386 directory from the Windows NT CD.

After all font names have been retrieved, notice that the List of Fonts contains only TrueType fonts.
