You may need to create that folder and copy the fonts there (don't move them from your main Fonts folder! -- just copy them - ctrl-click-drag) That's a holdover from much earlier Windows versions but still the code is part of BIAB since they've never actually rewritten the code from the ground up. There are six PGMusic fonts: Pgchords.ttf Pgjazz__.ttf pgmus.ttf Pftext.ttf pgtextj_.ttf Pftextje.ttf Copy them all to C:\Windows\System -- ***** David H.

I'm not all that hot with PC , but ,,,I did looking the bb folders ,, but couldn't see these .ttf files , where are they ? And you say " copy into windows system , " where is that location? PS I do have a program that allows a 3rd party to control the PC,,, If I " buy you a drink " would you be able to sort this out for me ? ,I'm bound to mess it up :( Best regards Tim form Cornwall ,,

If you've installed BIAB to run from your hard drive, the fonts are in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. You need to open Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) and you should be able to get to that folder.

The System folder I mentioned is at C:\Windows\System -- I hope you know how to find different folders and files using Windows Explorer. You may have a program that allows others to control your PC but unless I have the controller program from the same company I can't access your computer for you. Perhaps you have a friend who's more computer-knowledgable than you who could sit down at your computer and use my e-mails as a guide? Good luck! David
