Font Problem

Hi all,

I have application was developed on Window XP, and the font I used for all
the control in the form are "Monotype Corsiva". When the application run on
Window 2000, The font look weird because no such of "Monotype Corsiva" font
on Win 2000, and by default, the font was changed to some thing else and it
looks very ugly. Is any ways for me to copy font.dll from Win XP to Win
2000, or do I have to do some thing to fix this problem? Any help is deeply
appreciate...

You have to install the new font on your Win2k machine, into %windir%\Fonts
folder.

Well, to do it manually,

1. Copy your monotype corsiva file (m*.ttf) from %windir%\fonts folder on
WinXp machine to your Win2k machine - in some folder, say, c:\newfonts
2. Open %windir%\fonts folder in explorer on the Win2k machine.
3. On the file menu, you'll have "Install new font..." menu item.
4. Click on it and follow the steps.
