I tried all that, I'm not sure if the system restore would have worked or not, because my earliest system restore was the day AFTER I installed the fonts. I managed to fix it by deleting all the fonts that looked anything like poser was showing, but I remember there being a real simple fix for this, darn it.

I THINK it had something to do with editing the file "asifont.map": from what I remember, poser looks for a font that is closest in style to a font that USED to be installed on all Windows & MAC systems back in Poser 1.0 days, but hasn't been there since. Or something like that.

Or was it something that was in the registry?

 

regardless, thanks for the help kalypso
