lost install new font

[engan]

Hi all,

I lost my install new font from the file menu (font window). Is there a way to make install new font menu appears again. I use win98 second edition

Thanks

If you want to install new fonts, just drag & drop them into the Fonts folder. This will automatically install them.

Not sure that's correct. For apps to use the new fonts, don't they have to be registered in the registry also?
I've had this problem in the past, and the official fix was to try this:

[1] Restart the system to Command Prompt. Issue the commands below :

::-----below this line---
c:
cd c:\windows
attrib +s +r fonts
::-----above this line---

Restart normal. If the problem is not resolved, try this:

[2] Click out dos box or restart to command prompt. Issue the commands...

::----below this line---
c:
cd c:\windows\system
ren fontext.dll fontext.old
cd c:\windows\command
extract /A X:\win98\win98_22.cab /L C:\windows\fonts fontext.dll
::----above this line----

Note: Substitute X for your CDRom drive letter and also have installation CD in the drive.
Restart as normal. If still not resolved, try this:

[3] Restart to Command Prompt.

::----below this line----
c:
cd c:\windows\fonts
attrib -h -s desktop.ini
ren desktop.ini desktop.old
cd c:\windows\command
extract /A X:\win98\win98_22.cab /L C:\windows\fonts desktop.ini
cd c:\windows\fonts
attrib +h +s desktop.ini
::----above this line----

If still not resolved, sorry, I'm out of ideas.
Hope this helps,
Andy.
