Hi,
attached patches add c:\windows\fonts to  DEFAULT_FONTPATH.
c:\windows\fonts is the standard for Windows 98 and windows XP.
Maybe a more sophisticated solution would use getenv("windir")?

Regards
Friedhelm

Yeah, I think the best fix would be to change the fontFetch() function to 
look for the fonts in getenv("windir")+"/fonts" instead of hardcoding the 
dir names. I'm sure there are some weird people who call their windows 
installation neither by winnt nor windows.
