I'm using Ookba's 3VO.2.50.080809 with one of the included transparent wallpapers. No other change to the original download as far as I can think off.

Then I added a font to /windows/fonts (Lucida Handwriting Cursiva = LHC) and rebooted. And after reboot some of the text I see changed to LHC.

Any ideas why that is happening and how to fix?

Also, how to delete a font file from /windows/fonts (or from /windows)? When I try this message pops up: "Cannot delete file xxxx: There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."

Anytime you add a font to \Windows it adds itself to the font list. I guess your Lucida Handwriting font is the first on the list so it's gonna use it as the system font. You might be able to delete it using Resco or just rename Tahoma.ttf to yourfontname.ttf and copy it to \Windows overwriting.

My first font is _tahoma.ttf I saw the underscore trick somewhere to force it to be the first font on list... but that doesnt help.

Isn't there a way to specifically tell WM which font to use as default? A registry entry? Something? Otherwise one never knows what will happen when simply adding a font to list.
