      > the registry fix #65




I have nVidia card (8600GTS), though the PC is DIY, and I noticed some odd behaviour with T1 fonts after I updated the driver but didn't connect the two until I read this thread.

I arrived at this thread like lots of others who were trying to install a Type1 font and kept getting the "invalid or corrupt" error, which was clearly false. I know I was installing from an ancient 1993(?) 720KB floppy, but the disk checked OK on every other count.

I amended the registry as per post #63 but it didn't seem to work, but I was able to install the T1 fonts in safe mode.

So a big thank you to all you guys, and I now have some rather old T1 fonts installed and all is well with an old InDesing publication. Diolch yn fawr!

Iechyd da! John
