One of the sacrifices we make when moving to complicated and proprietary
platforms like Windows 95 is the ability to troubleshoot, or even understand,
many types of problems. If Windows won't show you the font in its menu,
there is certainly nothing Kermit can do about it! Why doesn't it show you
the font you want? Who knows. If you browse through the Windows 95
newsgroups, you'll find about 50% of the postings have subject lines like
"HELP! My xxxx disappeared!", where "xxxx" can be just about anything:
a font, an icon, an application, a device, you name it.
Maybe some readers have some more-concrete suggestions. In my experience,
once your Windows 95 system starts to deteriorate, which can happen for
countless mysterious reasons, you have to reinstall it.
