See whether or not True Type fonts are enabled in Control Panel.  If not, try 
enabling them.  Also, see if "Print True Type fonts as graphics" is enabled.  
If so, disable that.

Can't be done in 4.5--you need write access to the .NET file itself.  Paradox 
is designed to provide that functionality using password.  In 5.0, there's a 
way to set up access for use with CD-ROM, so that may be helpful here.  But, 
you'd need to upgrade.
 
Hope this helps...
