This bug is still present in RC1. I have a Windows XP NTFS partition, and
drakfont hangs almost immediately after starting the second stage: "Copy fonts
on your system".

In case this helps, the bug first appeared in 9.0RC2 (see MandrakeExpert #31662)
- 9.0RC1 worked OK (at least for me). My workaround is to copy the Windows fonts
onto my FAT32 partition, then unmount the NTFS partition before running
drakfont. cp seems to be able to copy the files without a problem

I vaguely recall someone posted a message on MandrakeForum saying they had got
it to work by recompiling the kernel for their processor (an Athlon), but can't
vouch for this. For the record, I have a Duron 750.

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> >
