OK. I only have XP running under Parallels, and you don't install that
way. Or I never do. Actually I ought to test them there...

I also suspect the compression. I used the OS X Finder to compress; I
have just used StuffIt now to compress again and have uploaded the
fonts again, so if you would check them out that would be great.
The file sizes after using Stuffit were different from using the
Finder, so perhaps that was the issue.
