This error can occur if the Fonts folder is removed from the Windows folder

md c:\windows\fonts
attrib +s c:\windows\fonts
extract /a d:\win98\win98_22.cab *.fon /l c:\windows\fonts
extract /a d:\win98\win98_22.cab *.ttf /l c:\windows\fonts
Reboot the computer. If the Fonts folder exists, just use the extract commands to extract the fonts into the folder.
