Thanks. That's the answer ... some files (e.g. the Lists.txt file in the Applets folder) are write-protected, unless you are logged on in Vista as Administrator. Up till now, I've been running OPW as another user. Logging on as Administrator seems to have solved the problem. But I'm still mystified as to where those font names came from ... presumably in the original download file?
That is interesting. I wonder if I should change the code so this problem does not arise.
I suspect some other applets will use a similar approach and so will also fail.
I guess an alternative would be to change the Windows user settings to give the user write access to the Applets folder.
Yes (and it came as a surprise to me) those strange fonts names come from the original install. I imagine someone sent me a document to look at - I've never used those fonts.
