But i got the font, and I tried to install it from a computer where the D3 app works?

What to do??

Might be an old thread but I have an answer.

I'm new to this CarPC lark and just starting down the road of an install.
I had the above on a laptop with XP SP2. Tahoma was indeed installed, however this is how I got around it...

Make a new folder named "stored fonts" stick it wherever you want I choose my docs.
Open control panel then the fonts folder.
Copy (and I'll reiterate COPY) the entire contents of the original font folder to your "stored fonts" folder.

EDIT:
Sorry I see I missed a bit out, after copying, delete all the fonts in the original fonts folder in control panel.

You'll get some messages stating that windows can't move certain fonts, ignore them.
Once the copying process has completed, close the open windows and restart system.
Windows will reinstall the required fonts one of which is Tahoma.

My map monkey now opens without the Tahhoma error.

You may find some programs having problems finding fonts, depends what you running. You can copy individual font's or tell any programs to use another font if required.

They are still there Don't you mean "MOVE" ?

No defo copy them, windows programs (and other software looks for fonts they don't install in their own created folder) look for the font's in the original location as far as I see it.

The reason for copying them is so if a program need a particular font to work correctly you can return it to the windows font folder.

Windows demands some fonts for dialog boxes ect so reinstalls some when it detects they are not present.

Works for me.

Another Plus point is quicker boot up as windows is not loading all those surplus fonts it doesn't require.
