Are fonts in the area of "art"? If so, a little help, please?

I tried this in another forum, but someone messed things up and put the thread off track.

Maybe it'll work better here.

I thought I'd had a Trek font on my old computer, a wire thin version of the font used to spell out the onscreen title for the series "Star Trek: Enterprise". When I found what seemed to be the right font and checked it out, the font window opened displaying a duplicate of the "Federation Classic" font.

Finally I found a Trek fan site here-

They had Trek fonts, and the third font shown was this one, exactly what I was looking for



I downloaded it on my newer computer (this one), and when I opened it...

The font window showed the Trek TNG font.

I don't know if something's wrong with my computers, if something's wrong with the font, or what.

If you have confidence in your computer's protection, would someone please try downloading the font and see if the font window displays lettering like the sample, or if you're having the same problem I am?

Thank you.

I just opened it and it looks fine to me.

Make sure you used this link: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a8612692/files/fed.zip

There's a reason that I wind up making my own fonts a lot of the time. The Trek fonts, in particular, around online are filled with errors and often are mislabelled and otherwise messed up.

Also, you may want to clean out some of your fonts. If two fonts share the same 'internal' names (very common for Trek fonts), it'll cause conflicts within your registry and therefore in applications which use those fonts.

The Federation font is actually supposed to be Microgramma D.
