Q: Doctor, I don't see Install New Font in the file menu. What do I do?
A: No Problem! Try this prescription . . .

Windows ME Users:
  1. Go to Control Panel > Tweak UI > Repair Tab
  2. Now choose Repair Fonts Folder.
Since 'Tweak UI' does not seem to be on all machines, Gateway has posted this fix:
  1. On your screen, locate and click the Start button. From the Start menu, click Run.
  2. In the Run dialog box, in the Open field, type: Attrib +S C:\Windows\Fonts, and then click OK. The Fonts folder now appears normally.
Windows 3.1,95,98,2000 Users:
  1. Click on the start button and choose "Shut down"
  2. Choose the "Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode?"
  3. You should then be at an MS-DOS prompt. Make sure you are at the C:\WINDOWS> prompt. If the prompt reads anything but C:\WINDOWS>, then type cd\windows and hit the enter key.
  4. Once you have established that you are looking at a C:\WINDOWS> prompt, type the following EXACTLY: attrib fonts +s then hit the ENTER key on your keyboard.
  5. You will then return to a C:\WINDOWS> prompt.
  6. Type WIN and then hit the ENTER key.
  7. Windows will start back up. Return to the Font Control Panel and the Install New Font option will have magically reappeared.
