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.

Yes, it's Serpentine Bold Oblique even though the file is named something else. I don't think the problem is an older version of Windows since in running XP. It's just an older computer using CD11. I tried to reload the font multiple times. I even tried to download the zipped file directly to a thumb drive & copy to the hard drive before unzipping and got the same results.

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?

Have you tried to install a different test font? Just to see if it is the font or the OS ??

I downloaded your file into my download file, went to control panel, font file, install new font, selected it from my download file, installed it and brought it up in CD11 font navigator.
