- This is a well-known bug in NT. Basically, TT fonts don't work unless
- you leave the LANGUAGE set to "English (American)" (the default value)
- when you install NT. You can change the KEYBOARD to whatever you want,
- just don't change the LANGUAGE! I found this out the hard way myself,
- by trying to install with "British" English.
-
- I think you'll have to re-install to get around this.
