<<Although there are ways to create the pfms for the fonts, the other key info that was excluded from the sets, can cause extreme damage to Windows and any programs running under windows. So if you try it and you end up needing to re low level you hard disk and reload everything on it, just remember you were forwarned.>> Paul, Come, come, now. I understand and am willing to abide the licensing issue (now that I know it), and I understand how the lack of hinting and kerning information will negatively affect their use in DTP programs. These are all good and sufficient reasons for me to not want to attempt to use the 3DS fonts in other applications. I don't respond well to scare tactics, however. I would have to say that the your paragraph above strikes me as extreme bullsh*t. Destroy the low level format? _Really!_ That would be a virus, not a legitimate software product produced by a reputable company. Your lack of a full last name already tells me you are not a customer service representative of Autodesk (at least not on this forum), so I would be curious what you base your claim on. Take Care, Alan
