adding new Font

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

I know that - to add a new font - in the 'Fonts' file
there should be an option to 'add new font' (somewhere in
a dropdown menu). It's not there. I've had this before,
several years ago so forgive me that I don't remember, my
age is against me I'm afraid.

Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks in advance!!

Hello Mike,

I did the first thing you advized - I do not have TweakUI
installed so that was not an option.
After doing 'Start-Run' I received this message:
'Extended Error 1,282' and it was not fixed.

Is the TweakUI something I can download somewhere?

Mildred

Mike, Thank you so much!! It works, thanks a million!!

I read your explaination about all the dangers of the
Tweakui, and I think I'll hold off on that. I have no clue
what else (besides repairing the 'adding Font' feature) I
can do with it and I think I'm going to keep it that
way...;-D

Thanks again, you're the best!
