Hi all<BR> <BR>
<DIV>> > What does "installed" mean? Located somewhere in the file system?<BR>> > Indexed by some kind of font managing system?<BR></DIV>
<DIV>** something like : C:\WINDOWS\Fonts</DIV>
<DIV><BR>> > In Windows a font is installed when is is given a registry entry, then<BR>> > all applications can access the font throught the operating systems<BR>> > mechanism to get access to fonts.<BR>> <BR>> i think that here we have the keys to understand what is happening...<BR></DIV>
<DIV>** clear now :-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> - you want to use helvetica which is not a default font under windows<BR>> <BR>> - you have installed it some way which we don't know<BR>> <BR>> - you see in other applications but you don't tell us which ones<BR></DIV>
<DIV>** And interresting to know.</DIV>
<DIV> <BR>> - you don't say where you got your helvetica fonts from... it may be a bad quality package from the internets?<BR></DIV>
<DIV>** Or bad font format, even if some apps can read them or like openoffice using its own fonts folder...</DIV>
<DIV> <BR>> - windows xp is an old system which didn't do that much automatically: you may need some work to get a specific font recognized by every application.</DIV>
