[XeTeX] Uninstalled fonts

[John Was]

Hi

Something like:

\font\mycardo=[d:/backups/fontbkup/mufi/unicode/cardo98/Cardo98s.ttf] at 
16pt

will use the TTF font Cardo98s from that location on the computer, whether 
or not it is installed.  (And I continue to find sometimes that fonts which 
are working OK with other Windows programs cause XeTeX to crash, in which 
case the solution is to invoke them directly from the font file at the 
appropriate location.)

Best


John
