I have some more information on the above.  For one, I found that
after I got one access violation, absolutely nothing would run, and,
like it suggested but I at first ignored, I had to shut it down and
restart it to get back to square one.

I found another mistake I was making.  I had gone through all the
make files and searched for *.ttf and replaced it with Arial so that
it wouldn't snag on any of the ones I didn't have.  But I believe that
Gilles (that sneaky devil) put a random call in to the fonts.txt file,
so I slashed the font.txt file down to one single line:

"C:\winnt\fonts\arial.ttf"

It still won't fly.  I get an error called out in the little blue message
window and then an access violation popup.  When I click OK on
the popup, the error in the message window disappears.  Here is
what it says before it disappears:

File:  fonts.txt   Line:  1
#while (defined(fFonts))
                 #read(fFonts,dummy"c:winnt\fonts\arial.ttf"  <----ERROR
Parse Error:  Illegal sequence in string.

Does that throw up any red flags to where somebody can see what
my problem is?

Thanks again, miker
