- I'm fairly sure that the Font Palette will install the fonts from the same
- directory. I often work the other way around without any problems -- installing
- the fonts from a temporary directory with the FP, and then installing them from
- my perminant font directory within ATM for Windows.
-
- Even if this doesn't work, copy all the .PFM and .AFM to another directory.
- (if you don't have enough disk space, you could probably just move them...)
-
- just use the FP to install them back to where they should be.
