SYMPTOMS

When you use the Fonts applet in Control Panel to add additional fonts, you don't have the option to install any compressed non-TrueType fonts.

WORKAROUND

You can work around this problem by manually expanding the non-TrueType font to a location on your hard disk or a floppy disk, then choose this location when you install fonts from Control Panel.
