I dont know what I did (trying to d/l free fonts) and I
copied them into Windows / Fonts.

Now when I open WORD, I show no TrueType fonts. Arial is
gone, they seem to all be someother type of font (post
script?)

the folder is still there on my computer under windows, so
I KNOW I have the fonts......

HELP

What Windows version do you use? How many fonts are there on the system
now?

I use Windows 98 ........ how many fonts? Should I know
that info? There are lots. Arial, Times New Roman, etc.
They sorta seem to be back.... but now online (earthlink)

If you open the Fonts folder, you should be able to see how many files it
contains.

Yes, I expect you to figure out how many there are. How many files with
a ttf extension (e.g. arial.ttf) are there in the Windows fonts
directory? An approximation will do. 100? 300? more than 1000?
