It sort of worked. The fonts show up in the list of fonts in writer, but when I type using that font I get unprintable characters on the screen (ie boxes). If I go to insert special character and use those fonts, I can insert a character correctly into a document - ie a capital A or small a. Is this normal? The font has all the normal letters in it. Do I need to do something else to make the font work?
