First: I don't want to start any kind of PC vs Mac war! yawn! I'm just curious ... Are you talking about TrueType-fonts? On a Mac such fonts you only have to drop onto the system folder. The OS then places them into the font directory where they belong, and you can use the new fonts in any application without restart. Only apps which where running while you installed the fonts have to be restartet. I've never had any problems with fonts - except damaged ones. ... AND I've never heard about serious problems with installing TrueType fonts on WinPC's. ;-) - wal
