    Font Problem!! Aaah!

    I have am coming up against a very strange problem in that fonts in my font folder is not being read and hence in programs, such as Word and Photoshop, I cannot access any fonts at all. I often get the error message 'could not repeat request because default system font could not be obtained'.

    I have installed (correctly) quite a few fonts but it doesn't seem to recognise that I have any. I use Win98 but I have heard this occurs in XP, so no difference there really.
    any help towards this gratefully recieved

    I have not heard of such occurances.

    Have you tried the MS knowledgebase?

    Do you have a ridiculously huge number of fonts that could me messing with the font database(or however windows tracks fonts)?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
