Dear Rich,

I tried your suggestion again and presto! - it worked. I put the =
Arial.ttf into the same directory as the FontList.list.

I thought I had tried this before? Anyway, I'm pleased but at the same =
time depressed as I wasted so much time on something so obvious.
Probably won't be the last time either.

Thanks for the help.

Steve

  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).
