So I have 3 fonts imported into the table I'm working on.  VPX writes three temp .ttf files into its root folder and then I can't ever delete these files(in system use) and it gives me the pop up "the temporary file .ttf could not be written" every time I launch the table.  Only similar topic I could find was from 2015 and not on fonts.  Anyone have a clue how I can fix?

I guess the font system worked fine in 2000 when it was designed. But with the current windows and all its restrictions and user rights then it is best to do not use fonts anymore. You may get it to work on your computer but it won't work on any other. Try to use images instead.

These are my tables, sorted by date, all them playable with VPX 7 or newer:

After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)
