Strange font issue

[Leafiann]

I've run into a very odd issue with a font. I'm running on a new hard drive with a fresh install of Windows XP. I've downloaded and installed the Carmilla font, but if I open it from the "Fonts" section of the control panel, all I see is the name of the font, a horizontal line, a big chunk of white space, another horizontal line, and then the sizes (12, 18, 24) but that's it. The actual font itself, the repetitions of "The quick brown fox...." aren't there. It seems like my system thinks the font is there but doesn't have any of the actual characters for it.

-I've deleted and reinstalled multiple times.
-I've used the installer and also downloaded it in .zip form and used XP's "install new font" option.
-I downloaded it on a different computer where it works perfectly fine, then transferred both the .zip and the extract folder to my computer and tried to install from that incase my download had been corrupt.

Anyone have a clue as to what's going on? I can get other fonts to work fine, but this one is being pure evil.

Thanks,

Leafi

try accessing the font within ms word. It may work fine. Iv had fonts do that before.

It shows up on the list of fonts I can choose, but if I select it...it looks like Courier New. Which isn't even the previous or next font on the list. Heh. Thank you though!
