[multikulti-tech] Installing downloaded fonts

hi janice

i'm just guessing, but i think you may have missed a step. 

it's not the file menu in the control panel that you need, but the file menu in the fonts folder, which is in the control panel. 

as it says on the multikulti help page http://www.multikulti.org.uk/help/installing-fonts/

# Choose Start, Settings, and then Control Panel.
# Open the Fonts folder.
# On the File menu, choose Install New Font.
# The Add Fonts dialog box appears.
... and so on.

If that doesn't work then yes, you can alternatively install a font by copying it directly in to the font folder. 
the location of the folder will depend a bit on what version of windows you have: i am running win98, and on my PC the fonts folder is c:\windows\fonts.

hope that helps
