Adding new fonts disabled in Control Panel

Hi there,

I made a build using XPe SP2. Initially I can access the Fonts from Control
Panel if I want to add a new font. However after installing my application
and a number of reboots upon double clicking the Fonts icon in Control Panel
nothing happens.
Any idea?

Thanks,

Sorin
 
Sorin,

Sorry for asking a silly question but does the problem occur if you don't install your application?
 
KM:
I just tested: after installing my application the icon for Fonts still
works. I also have an older build on XPe SP1 for another customer and on that
build I installed the new fonts after the first couple of reboots, then
installed my application and I don't have this problem (the Fonts icon in
Control Panel still launches the fonts). Maybe installing some fonts at the
beggining will keep the Fonts icon "alive".
So there is something that triggers this problem, I only wish I knew what. I
have a few builds in the field that need more fonts...
I had a similar problem in the past on SP1 for the Administrative Tools and
Beau C. advised me to run compmgmt.msc instead. So if there is a way to
launch Fonts manually that would be still Ok.

Thanks,

Sorin
