Are the font files also in wwwroot\fonts\ ? I've found it easier to have
the font.list in the same directory as the font files. Also check case -
the font file names in font.list are case sensitive (even on windows).

Are the font files also in <font face="arial" size=2>wwwroot\fonts\ ?
I've found it easier to have the font.list in the same directory as the
font files. Also check case - the font file names in font.list are case
sensitive (even on windows).<br><br>
