Invisible font
System H-P Pavilion 9600, 256 Mb ram
This computer can't see a font in the font folder when looking with Explorer. Word Perfect, Word 6/7, and Wordpad can't see it either. It doesn't appear in the registry. But I can see the font in the folder if I use another computer on the network with with Explorer. I deleted the font using the second computer, then tried to install it using the Control Panel. But the select font box can't see it, so I can't install it. I then exported the font part of the registry and added the font manually using Wordpad, and then imported the section back into the registry. Regedit can't see the font. For all intents and purposes, this font is completely invisible to this H-P computer. Any hints on how to make it visible so that I can install it properly? -- Bernard W.

After you delete the font file from the font folder using another computer,
copy the font file to another location and install it from that location. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Bernard W. Joseph" wrote in message ...

That's exactly what I tried, but the font is invisible to the installer under the Control Panel, so I can't install it. In fact, Explorer can't see the font that I saved in a temp folder either. -- Bernard W. Joseph http://www.appliedgrammar.com "Are you two three?" Victor Borge, Language Inflation |

If Explorer can't see it the installer won't. What exactly is the file and
where are you copying it from and to? It should not be possible to copy a file to a location on the PC and still have it invisible to Explorer, unless the file properties are being set as hidden and you have Explorer configured to ignore hidden files. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Bernard W.

The font is Calligrapher, and the font name is calligr0.ttf. I was finally successful by copying the font to a floppy, carrying it over to the H-P computer, and instaling it from the floppy. Thank you for all the attention you paid to helping me. -- Bernard W. Joseph http://www.appliedgrammar.com "Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise." - Dr. William Scholl |
