2 Questions about fonts on PPC

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

1: Can I set up an alternate font path so I can store fonts on e.g. a memory
card?
2: How can I DELETE .ttf fonts from \windows\fonts? I moved them all in, but
now I can't delete any, although they're not read-only

Thanks Tor. Works great. I put a link in \windows\startup so it loads
automatically

Well, same thing for our purposes. It is really flash-ROM, the
user-writable portion of the ROM.
