Note for users of Windows Vista

Windows Vista comes by default with tighter security settings, blocking some actions like installing fonts permanently. If you have problems installing fonts, locate the AMP Font Viewer shortcut in the Start Menu, right-click it and select Properties from the popup menu. Then go to the compatibility tab and check "Run this program as an administrator" (you may be asked to enter an administrator password). After this, you can install fonts like in other versions of Windows.
