Hi,

I copied fonts from my old desk top to the new laptop, using Windows7. Windows recognizes the new fonts, as I assigned them as my defaults.

But Firefox doesn't show the new fonts as options to select as defaults. How do I get FF to recognize the new fonts?

Thank you

With what kind of fonts do you have this problem?

If this are bit map (raster) fonts then you may not be able to use them in current Firefox versions.
You will have to see if there is a true type or open type (vector) version available.
