More to this, if anyone wants to know how, navigate to the FONTS folder in FSX or P3D, use CTRL+A and ENTER or right-click > install, and choose to skip any already-present fonts.

Is that a Win10 shortcut for something?  I just tried it in Win7:  Ctrl+A selected all files in the folder,  the right click context menu did not have an install option... Enter did nothing. Just curious.

It's been there since Win95. If the selection contains a file that is not a font, then no, you would not see an option to install the font.

Ah, okay. Thanks Steve. I got it working. My cursor was in white space instead of on top of one of the selected files. Doh!

 You had me in stitches Dan!

Well I took a gamble and bought the 777 even though I'm running Windows 8.1, almost no problems other than an occasional unwillingness to save preferences when exiting.

8.1 was a disaster for FSX when it first came out but FSX:SE seems to work very well, and Dovetail do say that Win8.1 compatibility was one of the key issues they addressed in the Steam edition.

Glad you got it sorted, I had meant to reply but have been on the road last few days with dodgy internet.

At least your trying! So many just shake their stick (literally) and give up! :wink:  :smile:
