It still wasn't working. I also goobered up the OS, so I ended up re-installing that also. Then it hit me.... when you install the OS, it puts a version of DS (Melco Sizer) into the Amaya folder. The problem was that the shortcut to design shop was going to the one in the OS folder. Since there is no Font folder in the same directory... The program was looking for the alphabets, but didn't see them and thus was giving me the error. This explains why it worked sometimes and not others. Simply pointing the shortcut to the right program in the Melco folder would have done the trick. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
