------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-10 20:48 ------- Please see bug 835. The trigger for this problem is that some Win2000 systems have the fonts actually in the winnt/fonts directory, and others have most of the .TTF fonts in the winnt/system32 directory with "shortcuts" in the winnt/fonts directory by the same names. I have two systems (desktop, laptop). The desktop has the shortcuts, while the laptop has the real fonts in winnt/fonts. This hangs on the desktop, but not on the laptop. Unfortunately, I have no record of how each system got to the state it's currently in, but if you know where to look on a Win2000 system for this info, I'll be happy to do it. The problem appears to be that the NTFS driver does not handle shortcuts very well (maybe the FAT32 driver doesn't either). ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: I tried to get the windows fonts and drakfont got frozen, but it also made the whole ntfs partition unaccessible, I was not able even remount it and all programs trying to access the partition froze (for example ls). I tried it on two system, and I got the same results. My system is: Duron 650 on Via KT, the disk is partitioned <ntfs with Win 2000> <ext. <ntfs> <vfat> <xfs> <swap> >
