"Install New Font" MISSING (W98)

[aljpson]

I'm using windows 98se. After browsing my <font color=blue>C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\</font color=blue> directory i'm unable to add new fonts. The "Install New Font" option is suddenly missing from the ControlPanel\Font. Is there a fix this problem? If not is there anyway else i can add new fonts?

Please help. Thanks in advance.

It means your Fonts folder has lost its System attribute.

At a MS-DOS prompt, type the following lines, each line followed by clicking 'enter':

attrib +s c:\window\fonts
exit or win (to return to Windows)

Make sure the path to the fonts folder is correct for your machine and reboot when you're finished.

Good luck, Tony
