Arghs and such.

Tried to install my trusty-dusty "Bookshelf '95" CD just now... you know, the one with the entire American Heritage Dictionary, and Atlas, and Roget's Thesaurus, et alia... only to discover that this machine doesn't have the Ariel TrueType Font installed, so half of the words in the dictionary entries don't show up at all.

I go to check out the fonts folder, and discover that there are very few TrueType fonts, at all... they're all something called OpenType. And frankly, I can't see the advantage.

:::Sigh::: Bookshelf '95 was my security blanket CD...

So I go to check out naarmamo, to double check that I uploaded all the art I did during the week I was out to their proper days, and look at the pretties that other people were making, and the pages for "Read replies/Post a comment" won't load at all -- without any error message, either! Is anyone else having this problem? Or is it just my machine?

At least, I get to use my Frustrated mood icon. I think I did well with that one.

[ETA: Never mind, don't botter to answer that last question, 'cause I won't be able to see what it is. I get the same thing happening when I try to make or check replies on this lj, too. So something is up, and it's not just naarmamo. I hope whatever it is gets cleared up soon... I'll go right stir crazy if I can't get or make replies...]

Ould that be the Arial font? If so, it can be found on this page -

that would be ariall in the truetype format, yes... I've got in opentype format, but my cd from 11 years ago doesn't know about that, and my computer from 0 years ago figured truetype isn't worth thinking about...

Oh, and I discovered that the problem with the replies is only with style 1 type ljs, so I switched to my style 2 lj, even though it oft makes my Dad's computer crash. (sorry, Dad. I hope LJ fixes the problem soon)
