Alright, got TweakUI to install, ran Font Folder Repair,
and still nothing's changed.
The problem I'm having is that I recently tried to add
some fonts to my system. I saved the .ttf files in
C:/Windows/Fonts just as I did the last time I added
fonts. I checked to make sure they had saved there
correctly (and they had). But they don't show up on the
font lists of any of my programs... including Word,
Frontpage, and PSP. The systems box is checked on the
folder properties, and I tried the Tweak thing... I also
tried to use the Help book, but it's telling me to do
things I don't have (ie highlight file, go to File Menu,
click on Add Font. I don't have an Add Font option
anywhere.) Very frustrating, as this is the second
instance in as many days of problems I'm having that don't
respond to any of the fixes suggested...
