You have a bunch of TrueType fonts in that list. Helvetica is not a TrueType font, but an Adobe Postscript font. The nearest TrueType font to Helvetica is probably Arial. However, flpsed is definitely looking for Helvetica, not Arial. I would start by deleting the *.ttf files in that directory (or move them elsewhere) and refreshing the font cache again. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
