... the Spork. ...

Any self respecting geek will maintain posession of a titanium spork

Yeah, thanks, but sporks are evil. I discovered this when one attacked my giant plush microbe.

I know where that is from, but I just can't think of the next line right now.  I know kind of what it has to do with, put can't say it exactly.

On track:  Michael I think that code will work for what I want.  I haven't tested it yet, but will soon.  I might change it, so that it will get the fonts in the default Acad folders also.  Thanks.

C:\Windows\Fonts is the only location a TTF can be installed as far as I know.
I have TTF fonts in my Autocad\fonts folder

You can put them there, but they won't work unless they are in the Windows Font folder as well.
