Ok, I see the problem. The easiest solution is to (since he has
320 megs) is to rename the second set of fonts with
an 'a' suffix.
Like disk 1: brick/55/44/33
disk 2: brick/11/13/9billion
On the hard drive:
Fonts:
brick/55/44/33
bricka/11/13/9billion
brick.font
bricka.font
This *WILL* solve your problem, in a big hurry to, if
you have to please (appease) a client. If you
are unable to find software to do the .font conversion
this'll work!
