PlecoDict Font File locations

[BrandeX]

At some point I ended up without the large size font files installed on my Palm anymore for PlecoDict. I have Vista, so I have to install everything manually by copying it to/from my SD card. Currently I have the main Pleco files on the internal RAM, and the dictionaries on the SD card, and everything else works great. However I just have the standard default font which is a bit small sometimes. I can't figure out a place to stick the font file (i.e. font24.pdb) to make it load into Pleco and be usable, I've tried the SD "Programs/Launcher" folder (where my dicts are), the SD "Programs/PlecoDict" folder (which is empty normally), and the main RAM folder (where the program executable is) on the internal memory. What folder should it be in? Thanks!

Pleco has a forum for this too, where you might find the answer already. http://www.plecoforums.com/

When you say you have to manually copy files because you're using Vista, I assume you've run into the problem of getting Palm Desktop to install on Vista? There's a newer version that does install on Vista, although the web site (last I checked) doesn't say it will. There are some forum posts from the same support group that says it will...

I've installed it on my version of Vista Ultimate. I don't recall the steps, but seems like I had to do one step manually to get it to use administrator privileges for the installation.

It should be in either /PALM/Launcher or RAM. Check to make sure there aren't any other font files in RAM. Also, I don't believe there's a font24.pdb. I only see 22, 28 and 48 on my 680, unless yours needs the low-res fonts?

So yeah, to be on the safe side, you should probably make sure you have your font files in one place (probably /PALM/Launcher on the SD Card), and if you have a high-res (320x320 or better, I think) PDA, then you should have font22.pdb, font28.pdb and font48.pdb.
