I remember back in the Win98 days, that they it had a problem handling large numbers of fonts installed and I ran into a problem when I overloaded it. It would not recognize all of them.
Since I had (or still have) a font fetish, I found it necessary to get a font manager so I could install and uninstall fonts to keep the number down. More food for thought if you are on 95/98.
XP seems to handle the larger numbers better, but I still use the manager to avoid problems.

Serpentine Bold Oblique ??
You can install approximately 1,000 TrueType fonts in Windows 98. Almost all of the installed fonts can be used simultaneously, and the same number can be printed in the same document.

That file opened fine for me.
If I remember correctly Win98 sometimes had problems when the fonts went over 600. The recommendation was no more than 400.

Put the file in a different folder than the font folder, then go to Start > Settings > Control Panel and then double click on Fonts. Then in the File menu select Add Font (or something like that). Browse to the folder you put the font in and select it and add it.
Do this with Corel closed.

This one has me baffled. Nothing I've tried works. Nothing anyone suggests works. Everytime I try to install the font it gets 50% complete and faults with an error message that says
"Unable to install the Serpentine-Bold Oblique (True Type) font. The file may be damaged. Check with your font vendor about obtaining a new file."
I'm running Windows XP on both machines. The only thing I can guess is that the icon is not the same as the other TT fonts.
Any other suggestions?
