Sandi, The idea is to have a separate copy of ALL of the fonts that have ever been available to you, even if you later choose to remove (or not reinstall) the app that gave them to you. This certainly includes the Windows operating system. For one thing, newer versions of Windows occasionally bring new versions of your system fonts. If you decide for whatever reason that you're not all that happy with an 'improved' version, you will still have a copy of the older one you can use instead. Plus, a font is nothing more than a file and can experience corruption damage. You would easily be able to Copy your copy of the offending font (from the Xtra folder) back into the Windows Font folder (overwriting the corrupted one) and be 'back at it' like nothing happened. :O) Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandi Beach" <sandib2@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 12:24 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Fonts Tutorial > Re-read your post G.
