John In Remote Kansas (JIRK) on LIK's cookie

The only programs I've had a noticeable number of font faults with are legacy ones that I got back in Win3.11 (WWG) days. One in particular is "Rhapsody" which is my main music printing program. About 5 percent of re-opens on old files give me a "font xxx not found" which is meaningless, because the font it says is missing is not one that is used. I'm still using the program on Win98, but it wouldn't run at all on LIK's Win2000 machine, so we had to get her something else.
There have been some significant changes is font handling in Win98 and Win2000. I still haven't figured out how they get Adobe fonts to run without a type manager - but they do work.
About the only other glitch I see is "illegal operation" which is always a "page fault" in that busy memory management thing. Especially with "not quite current" software, there are some formerly accepted memory calls that don't work well in newer Wins, and they crop up occasionally even in the uSoft stuff.

Amergin - You hit one of my several main reasons for not going hard-wired. Firewalls are messy stuff. There is a very fine line between preventing the unwanted action and preventing everything from working. Like the recent NASDAQ shutdown - when someone "testing some software" fried the password for rebooting the system - and it's probably not even Windows.
