That way, wherever the font is (Desktop, CD, another drive...) I could right-click the font and choose "Send to... Fonts" and it would then be installed.

Works like a charm, though the folder navigation in the Install New Font dialog needs some updating (no long file name support, etc, etc) I’ve had a couple occasions in XP where fonts I dropped into the font folder did not automagically appear, even after refreshing, so I’ve taken to copying the font files into one folder, then using Control Panel > Fonts > Install New Font to read and install the fonts I’ve dl’d.

It's basically the same process, you need both font files, pfb and pfm, and you drag (I think) the .pfm file over and it'll install it just like a Truetype or Opentype font. Many times users odn't have their machines set up correctly for this process. To fix it and remove any old references to ATM, try out the following web site. It fixed everything for me. http://www.geocities.com/AtmFix2kXP/ One thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that with Windows XP and 2000 you can install Postscript fonts that you used to need Adobe Type Manager for.

It's a nice util for quickly and easily handling a large library of fonts. I also used to use The Font Thing: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~scef/tft.html

The drag and drop method makes my machine hang sometimes for some god forsaken reason only known to Microsoft. In XP, when you have the font folder open you can also do :
