Question Font Installation [fails - Windows is using the font ....]
I'm trying to install a True Type Font into XP operating system. I have installed many before with no issue. XP keeps saying " windows is using the font try again later". I have rebooted and not started any programs. I have freshly extracted the file several times. Also used control panel / font installer makes no difference. Your thoughts !

Try booting into Safe Mode and installing it there.

It is saying it is "in use", is it already installed?

I had problems installing fonts on a new system, it was because there was no printer installed.
