Can´t use fonts with Pagemaker6.0 and Windows98
Hi! Can´t use some fonts in Pagemaker 6.0 and Word since I changed from Windows 95 to Windows 98.
They are installed and I can use them with Wordpad, but these other programs replace them with other fonts as if they were missing. Is there some limit for fonts in Windows 98 or what is the problem?
Greatful for an answer to this question!

Thanks Dennis, but I have found the solution to the problem!
I reinstalled Windows 98 and It solved the problem! At the end of the installation I got the message that I would lose fonts from Lpt1 and I would have to reinstall them again to use them... Great I thought, I reinstalled the drivers for the postscript-printer, a NEC Silentwriter, that provides 35 postscript-fonts when You install the drivers, and opened Pagemaker again, now the problem was back, the TrueType Braggadocio was replaced by
one of the postscripts provided by the printer, though the program indicated that It was
Braggadocio!! Isn´t that strange, that some installed Truetypes would be "pushed away"
by postscript fonts!??
Now I knew that I just had to reinstall win98 to "get my fonts back"...!
Though the problem is solved for me, It would be interesting If anyone could give me a more detailed explanation to this, or Is it just a bug in Windows98?
Thanks!

There's two potential problems, let's take the easiest first. If you haven't already done so, install Tweakiui from the Windows 98 CD Rom. After the install, you will find an icon for it in your control panel. Open Tweakui and then run the repair fonts. Let me know how you make out. If there's a problem, we go to the Pagemaker side.
