    Need to run font from CD not Font folder in windows.

    Hi there. My problem is that in my college I am not able to install ANYTHING on the computers. All us students are locked out from that. Insane isnt it?! Anyway I was wondering does anyone know is it possible to run a font directly from a CD instead of the C:Windows etc. Or is there any more obvious way to do this that I am unaware of? I am at my wits end on this. I basically cant work on my projects unless I do it at home on my laptop. What a ridiculous system eh?! Anyway, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. BTW I'm using Flash MX at home and Flash MX 2004 in college. Also the computers are all set up with XP as is the laptop. Thanks.

    Im in High School still, so its a smaller scale, but in the class i do flash stuff i can talk to my teacher and he can let me have privliages so i can access that folder. Perhaps you can try to ask a network tech or something to see if you can get that going. If not why not just bring the laptop to school?

    Embed the font as opposed to device fonts

    You cant run a device font from another directory
    or drive.
