"Add fonts" dialog!  I hoped that it would be replaced in Windows XP. It seems that we will have to wait for final Vista: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=199278 Quote: It's going to be fixed in the final version. I had a e-mail conversation with one of the guys from the Shell team. He told me that they are going to fix it. Roman |

Yeah, I've always found that amusing that the Font Add dialog hasn't been updated in forever. Still has the old 16-bit Windows look to it... |

| | Re: Vista is windows3.11 Ditto for Paint. Hasn't changed a bit. But I think the real issue is, nobody cares about that.

| | Re: Vista is windows3.11 You'd think that the fonts folder would also give you a preview of the font when you click on the file. Maybe it will in final.

| | Re: Vista is windows3.11 It does give you a preview of the font when you open the file. But of course, it most matters when you're actually applying fonts. And most programs show what the font looks like in the Fonts drop-down list when you're deciding which font to apply.
