[dba-Tech] Font weirdness and windows patches.

The font maker is GREAT. Surprisingly easy to use. We now have distinctive
proprietary fonts for our home business. The  only other problem has been
that FastSigns sign shops software has been unable to read them so they had
trouble printing our brochures. Something in the file must just be different
enough to give Fastsigns and now windows 2000 problems. bummer

No, but I think Steve had a good suggestion.
 
BTW: how do you like the Becker font maker?

I installed all the patches for windows 2000 like a good boy. All is well
EXCEPT certain fonts no longer work. Double clicking on them gives the error
message that they are not true type font files. As it happens these are all
custom made fonts using Becker handwriting font maker. Anyone seen this kind
of weirdness? I use these fonts in lots of brochures. I HATE Patches,
upgrades, etc. :-(
