i was having problems installing fonts on windows xp. i have nvidia quadro nvs 140m graphics. i always got this message when trying to install a font: "The requested file _____.otf was not a valid font file."

here is what i did:

run regedit.
open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Memory Management
add DWORD value with name SessionImageSize and data 0x14
reboot

Frutiger is nice.

Not just the face either. AF has designed some other nice ones -- Univers is probably my favourite Swiss style typeface.

what is AF?

UniversLTStd looks nice. it's got a fat kerning, though.
