Hollywood player cannot open font arialregular.font

[motorollin]

I've just downloaded a Hollywood game from Aminet. When I run it I get an error saying "Cannot open font arialregular.font with size 18!". The game directory contains a file called arialregular.font and another one called arialregular.otag. I tried copying both of these to FONTS: but this made no difference.

Any ideas?

You're right, it does look in PROGDIR, but the files are there. It also tries and fails to open ft2.library. I guess this is FreeType? I have just installed FreeType, but I still got the same error.

OK here's the contents of arialregular.otag:

.................................. ....... ....................................... ....... ................................................ ........ft2.Arial.FONTS:_truetype/Arial.ttf.........

So I got arial.ttf from a Windows machine and put it in FONTS:_truetype/, but it still doesn't work :-(

Cheers Piru, that worked. For any who are still unclear, here's the full list of steps:

1. Download and install freetype2_lib.lha (Aminet)
2. Copy arial.ttf from a Windows machine to your Amiga
3. Run FTManager (installed by Freetype)
4. Set the source DIR to the location of arial.ttf
5. Double click Arial in the list of fonts and then click Install
6. FONTS:arialregular.font and FONTS:arialregular.otag will be created
7. Copy FONTS:arialregular.#? to the Attack game DIR, overwriting originals

I just played the game and it was sloooooooow. It opened on a CGX screen so I'm wondering if it would play any better on AGA? I wanted to try this game as I'm trying to evaluate Hollywood's effectiveness at making games. If they really are this slow then I'll look in to a better solution :-)
