Simple Font Installation?

[Guest Jay]

Greetings! I am trying to copy some fonts from one XP machine to another.

These are TrueType fonts. Is it possible to just copy/paste them from the

Fonts folder of one machine into the same folder on the other? I've done it

successfully that way on one machine, but on another I get the message like

Windows is using the font and it cannot be replaced. If I'm not running any

apps, and the font hasn't been installed yet, then how can Windows be using

it?

 

Thanx,

[Guest Mike]

I've read a book saying that one may copy the fonts from Windows to

Ubuntu.
