- A few days ago there was a mention of someone having troubles with
- true type fonts and Ventura on Windows 3.1. I have a similar problem
- where Ventura crashes on startup but only sometimes. With no true type
- fonts at all it never crashes but it has a 50/50 chance when a bunch of
- true type fonts are installed. Because the behaviour is erratic, I can
- assume that either Ventura does not handle any true type fonts well
- or that some fonts are bad for ventura and depending on the time of day,
- phase of the moon, etc., it will either start up with them or not. If
- it does choose to become operational, ALL of the true type fonts are
- usable.
-
- Because of this behaviour, it is very difficult to weed out the fonts that
- Ventura gets upset about. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has
- a list of tried and proven fonts that always work. Also, if anyone else is
- having this problem or has a solution (short of getting rid of the true type
- fonts). I can be reached at byoung@bnr.ca.

- Thanks... Blair
