Hi Girish. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have an Apache alias pointing to my site, along the lines of:
Alias /input "P:/Projects/data_input"
and have placed the ttf files within this directory (where the php script is
located as well). I've tried placing the ttf files in a sub-directory as well
- with no luck.
Any other ideas???
