Hello, I downloaded the Fonts 1.0 freeware and Fonts 2.0 shareware recently. I am trying to install them now, but am having major problems. At one point I was able to successfully use the 1.0 fonts in WriteNow, but could not print them. I get an undefined postcript error. This problem was experienced by others here, but I in my infinitely short-sighted wisdom thought "I'll never need that!". Well that's one problem. Problem 2 -- I can only do the above from root. My own account does not even know about the Fonts. (What a stupid account :-) I checked the attributes of the Fonts and everyone can read and execute them (and the directories). I'm not sure what else could be wrong. Problem 3 -- Well, now I can't even get the above error. In root when I try to print in a document with the new fancy fonts everything comes up looking like Helvitica or something. No differences. This is true for 1.0 and 2.0 fonts. Some of the 1.0 fonts get sort of hung up when I try to set them, also. Has anyone else had these problems? (People tell me that I am not the only that has "simple" things screw up on them, but I'm not sure if I believe them :-) If you have suggestions or solutions, please e-mail me and I'll summarize. Thanks a mil'. charles d. kincaid statman@sole.stat.ufl.edu "A slab just ain't no fun, without a large hard drive." the 1.0
