Has anyone had difficulty getting TrueType fonts to install under
Windows 3.1J?

I have tried both Microsoft and IBM Windows 3.1J fresh out of the
shrink wrapping with the same problem.  The individual files are
expanded but at the assembly stage, I get an error message
telling me to call IBM or Microsoft Technical Support.

I finally got the fonts unpacked and installed by doing a network
installation and then grafting the files from the network
installation into a conventional installation.  

Unfortunately, this did not work with the TrueType files supplied
with Microsoft Word (also fresh out of the shrink wrap).

My machine is a 40 mHz 386 with 20 megs of memory.  I have had
the same problem on a 25 mHz with 8 megs of memory.  The problem
occurs whether Windows is running on top of DRDOS/V or IBM
PCDOS/V.  It occurs when I boot from a specially made floppy that
is an absolutely bog standard DOS/V config.sys with no TSRs, no
disk cache.

I have not called technical support for two reasons.  One, it is
a damn expensive call from the UK and two, when I have called IBM
in the past, I have found their support people thick as planks.

Please mail me a copy of your response.
