Seems like nobody cares about this dialog box , just like clock.avi in %SYSTEMROOT% .. hmmm.. at least they got rid of that in Windows Vista.

This is one of the reasons why Windows doesn't ever seem like the platform for publishing/true creative, that and it's alt codes for entering in special characters. The MAC leaves us behind, way behind. -- But who knows maybe these are something of the things that will be totally replaced in "Vista Ultimate Extras". There is really no excuse but at least I am trying to hold out hope.

Come on, it's like a homage to classic Windows. An easter egg if you will ;)

hehe! i agree with NMDANGE. this is very cool. the add fonts dialog even has the old drive icon... impressive! ...almost. Had it only been the only thing they've kept as a little retro treat. But it's very typically Microsoft. Every once in a while I find Win95 icons in XP. It's just a bit too unprofessional...

lol, so MS aims Vista to contain parts of dialogs with a 16-bit heritage? Although that answer is quite interesting on its own, an even more interesting question to have answered is "why?". And if they come with the "no time" excuse, I think I'll only be able to laugh at this point. :-p

Anyone who is in publishing would know better that, you need to use something like Adobe Type Manager for your font related tasks, no one uses windows add font dialog so there you go, windows is in publishing a long time ago (since win95 when all the adobe, macromedia apps started to look/behave as in MacOS) in macos you don't even had a dialog you had to drag n'drop to your system folder...

They've probably lost the source code for that bit, so just have to copy the dialogs binary for each version of Windows :^

XP will probably be the last version of Windows I've ever bought. Since Windows 2000 (not ME, so many people get this confused) Windows has been going downhill.

Ya know, I have NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER used this dialog since Win 3.1. Not once, NEVER, and I install all kinds of fonts. I just drag them into the folder, the way Bill Gates intended.

The fact that you use a win 3.1 paradigm and *** about a win 3.1 dialog is somewhat absurd. Why are you even using that dialog anyways? JUST DRAG AND DROP. At least catch up to the win95 world like the rest of us.
