If so, don't try in the dialog, select a file instead and copy the full path from the input field 'Font file' on the main screen (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) No, I figured it out. XP seems to come with a special Hidden System desktop.ini file in the font directory with this in it. [.ShellClassInfo] UICLSID={BD84B380-8C...00948F534} It makes the standard Windows open file dialog behave in a way that (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
