I'm not sure if it's an incompatibility issue with the font file or not, but I found one such font set from the net (not sure if it's the same set as yours) and it works for me:

http://home.att.net/~momscorner4kids4 (http://home.att.net/~momscorner4kids4)

Maybe you can try importing some other "standard" fonts, such as those arial/times/courier sets provided by windows and see if they work. If these "standard" font sets work, it's quite possible that your Grinched set has some problem that it's not compatible with AGS.

You might want to verify that that size of the font exists, open up the font in the font viewer to find what size fonts it supports, I've seen something similar to that in another program, where the creator of the font never made a 8pt font, and when i tried to use it at 8 point it crashed the program...

Maybe it helps....

Funny, I got the page working yesterday and it disappears today, maybe it's something with the page's access exceeding bandwidth, etc.

Anyway, I just googled for that font set, you can also google and see if you can find other set.
