    Im playing with ForeverZer0's Memory Font Loader for RMXP.  The initial version of the script didnt work until another member suggested changing the WinAPI call "AddFontResourceEx" to just "AddFontResource", while Blizz had also suggested running "AddFontResourceExA" or "AddFontResourceExW", which also werent working on my box.  WinAPI just responded 0 (0 means didnt work) with Ex, ExA, and ExW.  Im awful at understanding WinAPI calls, but what I am curious about is if AddFontResource is A: Scheduled for depreciation and B: will using "AddFontResource" cause any conflicts with certain versions of Windows, IE, 8, 8.1+ etc, and C:, why just AddFontResource works?

    The ability to use a Fonts folder over System Fonts is definitely a welcome addition to the VX family, just sayin...
