I reckon if you add up all the lost seconds over the last few years each time I opened the GUI and entered the host, then account, or searched the saved connection... I'd probably have a week or so of wasted time! nice tip - sometimes the simple ones are still the best... I’m embarassed to admit I did not know you could launch putty using the root@host switch.

Sounds like that may be the issue. I believe only fixed-width fonts are usable in PuTTY. Sounds like that may be the issue.

They are both ttf (true type fonts) and both show up in word when I use that. I am think there must the be specification that a font must subscribe to in order to be used on a comand line rather than in a GUI app like MS Word. Not sure what that would be though ... yeah, well the font you mentioned DOES work – the MiscFixedSC613 font, it works fine, but the dead hand treasure map pirate font that I downloaded does not.

Should be standard Windows stuff. Check and see if the font is available in any other applications. Hmm. Should be standard Windows stuff.

But how do I get putty to find the font? - I put it into C:\windows\fontrs like you said but when I start putty it is not there? Am I doing something wrong?? Hi Eric,
