Hi everyone, WinT here... need a little help :)

HI folks, long time no see <-- An understatement indeed :)

Hope everyone is doing well, as I see the new EVO site is.

I'm having a slight font problem here, and that problem is this...

I recently had to buy a new hardrive to replace my older one, which died for some reason. Starting making a "clicking" sound when attempting to read or write data, and it just eventually locked up and would not boot, despite all efforts to repair.

So, having not made proper backups of everything, all I had was my XP OEM CD, nothing more. I've gotten back up and running with the new drive just fine, and have replaced most items that I was missing by downloading them all again, but the one thing I can't replace is my small collection of fonts. I had all the good ones, but now, I can't seem to find anyone providing a package of fonts for download.

Is there anyone around that would be willing to zip up a font package for me? I'm referring to all of the most popular fonts, used with all the screenshots seen around here as of lately.

I would be very grateful to anyone willing to help with this matter.

I'm particularly looking for the Arial series, especially the CAPS versions, and also the Swis series, but would love to get every "nice" font available.

Thanks again in advance for any help that anyone might provide, as it will be much appreciated indeed :)

look for font frenzy, i could send an image file of the fonts i have installed right now, but you will need that app. It's freeware anyways.

Also get a good 7zip app.

Hi egolatra, thanks for the reply, though I think you might have misunderstood me...

I don't need an app to install fonts, much less clean them up, etc... I just need the fonts themselves.

I can install the fonts without an app, and ZIP capability is not an issue at all.

No offense intended by the way, just wanted to make myself as clear as possible.

Thanks again though for your attempt to help, it is appreciated.

heh, you misundertood me too :D

What that app does is: from a "snapshot" (backup) file it can recover and reinstall all the fonts. So i meant to send you one of those backups files from my installed fonts so you can "re-frenzy" them in your own pc.

WinT says:

Ah, ok, gotcha now. I guess I did misunderstand you. Sorry about that :)

So, how do we do this?

I download the app, install it, then you send a file, and I "install" that file? Is that the method here?

My email by the way is paulpippin29@bellsouth.net

And by the way, just for shits and giggles, why would/could you not just simply zip up all of your .TTF font files, and send them? Wouldn't that be easier?

MIght not be, but just thinking it would be, though alot of things have changed during my long absence, so perhaps your method is easier? Not sure, and can go either way, and again, no offense intended, just trying to cover the bases here.

Let me know something as soon as you can :)

Yay, WinT has come back around again!!! *Runs over and hugs you*

#Nuance seems to have become the new #customize, and most of us are still using mIRC, except for the smart people that use Irssi. I'm not one of them, it wouldn't work for me.

I hope you're still planning on a comeback screen shot. :D

Hello old boy.

You should have put the fonts on a file host instead so we can se if we're missing any.
