Hi Ivan,
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot copy Windows fonts from Windows
to Linux. This is most likely why you got the error.
When selecting Windows fonts by using Drakfont, click on the Windows
fonts button and select the Force option. You want to uninstall the
present fonts and reinstall the Windows font via Drakfont. You have to
remember that these Windows fonts in Drakfont were hacked. This is due
to the fact that Microsoft owns the fonts. Since they have spent
millions of dollars to get them just right, they will NOT share them or
offer them to Linux.
As far as mounting the NTFS partition, this is still under development (
as fas I am aware ). However, there are plans to add this to a later
kernel.
I think further investigation is needed.
