typo'd instead of copy/pasted. What I meant was... Chris's code... >>> FONTDIRS = os.path.join(os.environ['WINDIR'], 'Fonts') 'C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts' returned valid as returned string. Forgot to add >>> part. Is there any way to edit posts? Don't see an edit linky anywhere. Is there something wrong with using os.environ...? win32api stuff is another dependency.
