You know, Windows has a very strange permission set-up. It may be that
even though it *looks* like I am able to write into this ExelisVis
directory that I really can't. (This has happened to me before when
trying to change a library routine.) If I can't, then it is always the
*old* ttfont.map file that is getting read, which is why nothing ever
changes for me.

Device, Set_Font=fontname, /TT_Font will complain if I pass a name that
is not in the C:/Windows/Fonts folder, so I think that part is working.
But, clearly, IDL doesn't know anything about the font when I try to use
it. This command works:

device, set_font='Brush Script MT Italic', /tt_font

The relevant line in my ttfonts.map file is this, after I copied
the font to the IDL true-type fonts folder:

"Brush Script MT Italic" brushsci.ttf 0.625 1.0

No joy whatsoever, even after restarting IDL, etc., etc. :-(

Cheers,

David
