Keeping fonts installed

Post by melissa »

Hi,

I have MT4 installed and working. I notice though that when I install fonts through MT and then restart my computer, none of those fonts remain installed. Is this the intended functionality? I've tried both "install selected fonts" and "load selected fonts" and get the same outcome.

Thank you.

Its the intended outcome for "Load selected fonts" but not for "Install selected fonts."

Are these fonts located on a network drive or does this happen with all fonts? Also what Windows version do you have?

Sorry it took so long to answer. The fonts are located on an external hard drive that is always connected to my computer. I'm running Windows 7.

I suspect Windows is trying to load the fonts, before it has been able to connect the drive.

If you continue to have this problem, do let us know and we'll further look into this issue.
