Windows Font Viewer For Windows Me

[Guest]

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

Hello,
I am having troubles opening my fonts through c/windows/fonts. Every time
i double click to see the font, and open the file, nothing happens, and when
i right click and click on open as, I do not have the option of windows font
viewer.
Does Windows Me not have this? If it does, how do I add it to my options
of programs to open the fonts in?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause i cannot use fonts i have
downloaded for my paint shop program, and I am getting irritated , cause
everyone says to just double click and they open. but as i said, that does
not work

Thanks

Win Me includes a built-in font viewer, fontview.exe, which should be
located in the windows folder, It doesn't however add anything to the
right click when viewing a font in the windows\fonts folder.
Double-clicking the font and opening it should be enough.

Using Control Panel | Folder Options | File Types, look for the TTF file
type and see what it says this file type opens with. It should show
"Windows Font Viewer". If not what does it say?

Thanks fo rthe help, I did what you said, and have them ot open in windows
font viewer, but still when i double click on them, they will not open . Is
there something else that i might need to do. I even tried a font viewer that
a friend of mine sent me, and it says when i try to see fonts that aren't
installed in that program that there is an error finding the other fonts ,
even in windows fonts.

Yes, fontview is standard in ME.
Check that you have it available for a doubleclick in
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types.
Navigate down to TTF
Press Advanced
Hilight "open", press Edit and see that it says:
C:\Windows\fontview.exe %1

Did you check that you have a copy of fontview.exe in your windows folder?
