Hi guys,

I'm having a bit of a headache with an old WinXP machine that has been pretty much relegated to print server duties (plotter manufacturer never released any Win 7 drivers).

I messed up an accidently deleted a couple of the system fonts, to the point where menus on the machine aren't showing any text. Is there somewhere that you can download a .zip / .rar or whatever of the standard stock XP fonts? I know they're on the Win XP CD, but for the life of me I cannot find the damnable things. :o

Cheers!

they'll be in the i386 folder probably with a .fo_ extension. these are compressed so you need to run the command line utilty expand on them. something like...

Code: 
expand d:\i386\*.fo_ c:\test\*.fon

create the test folder first and then copy out just the fonts you need.

Click to expand...

Just getting the error, destination is not a directory, when extracting using the following:

Code: 
expand f:\I386\*.fo_ c:\expand\*.fon

I created the c:\expand\ directory to try this, so its definately there. I then tried:

Code: 
expand f:\I386\*.fo_ c:\expand\

But that just gives me a bunch of .fo_ files in c:\expand\

Any ideas?
