Fixing Windows Fonts

Letters instead of Planets in the Charts

ANSWER: First of all. Reboot. Believe me, that often cures this problem.
If you did not reboot after installing, that is probably why it is
happening. Secondly, if that doesn't work, reinstall the fonts. There is
a copy of them in the program folder. Drag these into your Fonts control
panel (on the PC) and onto your System Folder (On the Mac). Then reboot.

Here's more detaill about reinstalling the fonts on Windows machines
(non-Macintosh computers):

Our installer places the fonts you need to run our program, including
one constaining all the standard Jyotish symbols, into your Windows
system. My experience is that it ALWAYS does this, but sometimes they
don't work until you reboot, and sometimes, rarely, these automatically
installed fonts don't work at all. I don't know why this is. So if
you've already rebooted (restarted) your computer since installing GJ,
and they still show letters in the chart instead of what it's supposed
to show, then you need to proceed to "reinstall the fonts" because you
are apparently one of the unlucky few for whom it didn't work the first
time, darn it.

So, here's how you do it. First, open our folder either using Windows
Explorer (found in the Start Menu, to Programs, then look for it there),
or by simply opening "My Computer", then your C drive, or the drive you
put our program on, then our folder. So either way, if you get to where
you are looking into our folder, which is usually called GorJyoV2, then
you'll see in there is another folder called "Fonts". This contains a
copy of the fonts you need to run our program.

So get that window open, the one called "Fonts", so that you can see the
fonts inside it. You are going to need to drag these fonts eventually in
this process, and when you do, you want to drag the 5 fonts themselves,
NOT the folder they are in. Just the fonts.

Then, once you have that window open, you want to also open another
window on the screen, and you need to be able to see both at once, so
you'll want to move the first window over so that it occupies just say
roughly one half of the screen, or is on one side of your screen.

Then, you need to go to the Control Panels folder and open the Fonts
folder you'll find in there. That's the "Windows own" fonts folder.
That's the folder contained all the fonts currently installed into your
Windows operating system, hence available to applications to use. So
you're ultimately going to want to copy the fonts from MY FONTS folder
in the GorJyoV2 folder, into the WINDOWS FONTS folder which you get out
of the Control Panels folder.

So go Start, to Settings, to Control Panels, and let go, and that will
open the control panels window. Then double click in there on the FONTS
folder, and that will open a window showing lots of font names. You can
now CLOSE the control panel window just to get it out of the way.

Move this newly opened Control Panel derived FONTS window over to the
OTHER side of your screen, so that you can see it AND the origianl one
you opened out of the Goravani Jyotish folder.

Now pull down the View menu in the WINDOWS (control panel) FONTS window
so that it's a list or details, which sorts them all by name therein.
Now scroll up and down and find my fonts if they're in there, and if
they are, then DELETE the copy you find in there. My fonts are called:

ACCUMON

ACCUSHI

ACCUJEN

GARAMOND NARROW

JYOTISH

These five fonts, if you find them in there, then DELTETE them out of
there. I'm speaking right now about the CONTROL PANELS derived fonts
window, which can also correctly be called the WINDOWS fonts window,
because it contains all the fonts currently installed into your Windows
operating system.

DO NOT throw my fonts out of MY font folder, which contains ONLY my
fonts, and which was dervived out from MY directory, my program folder,
which is usually called GorJyoV2. So get the right fonts and throw them
out if you find them as I mentioned.

Next, drag my fonts, the 5 fonts shown above, from MY fonts folder, over
INTO the Windows fonts folder, and let go. They will install. This is
good. You want to copy them from my fonts folder to "their" fonts
folder. This installs them into Windows, your operating system. They
will then be available to all programs for use wherever True Type fonts
are used.

You can then close up everything, restart your computer (shut it down
then start it up again). You then launch my program. You should then see
all the planet glyphs as you would expect.

Thanks, you're becoming a computer genious!
