I just copy and pasted my commercial script font over to a new PC. I can print a test of the font from the fonts folder and it looks fine, but none of my programs can use it. How can I get the font to be used?

Thanks!

You must go to Control Panel/Fonts then click on File/Install New Fonts. Scroll to the folder you have the new fonts then select them and install.

I tried that, but there is no option under the File menu to Install New Fonts...

It should be there or you're not running Windows.

Strange...it is Win2K Pro and it's a brand new HP PC....All we have done is turn it on and install our programs. Windows was already installed...Hmmm?
