Doh!

I was sooooo careful to back up everything I could possibly think of before I reformatted the upstairs computer. So of course I forgot something. All my fonts. >_< *slaps forehead*

Thank God (and Google) for AbstractFonts.com!

*LOL* That happened to me the first time I had to reformat, along with the drivers for my scanner. Fortunately, the net can be a pretty good backup tool at times. Glad to hear your fonts are back. Me, I don't know what I'd do without my Bonzai or Katana ;-)

We all have our brain fart moments. Some more significant than others. >_< And yes, there are some fonts I cannot live without. ;)

Here's a foolproof way:
Make an image of your hard drive.
As you notice things missing (like your fonts), plug in the image and copy over the files.

The nice thing is that you can do a delta check if you ever wanted to see what's different now (nice for text files and HTML files).

*sound of what you said whizzing over my head*

No need to bother explaining, though. I'm normally quite good about backing stuff up. This was just a brain fart. >_<;

Actually, I will bother explaning because its a rather important thing:
1. I meant that if you made a complete copy of the hard drive onto another drive (aka image-like a photo of your hard drive).
2. I assume you know this part too well. By "plug in the image" I meant to attach the drive with the image to your computer and copy files from there (beats downloading from the Internet!)
3. "delta check" = Use a program to see any differences in your files. I doubt if you have such a program unless you're a programmer so you can safely ignore this last line.
