Problem: ChessPad does not install the chess fonts

Sometimes the chess fonts with ChessPad do not install correctly. If you have this problem, it is easy to fix by installing them manually as follows:
  1. Open the ChessPad installation folder and go to the common subfolder. (In a default install it would be C:\Program Files\ChessPad2\common.)

  2. For Vista and later: Right-click each of the 4 font files (IS-TT-21.TTF, PRG55CHE.TTF, STCHESS.TTF, TBASEDIA.TTF) and click Install in the popup menu.

  3. For XP: Copy each of the 4 font files (IS-TT-21.TTF, PRG55CHE.TTF, STCHESS.TTF, TBASEDIA.TTF) into the windows Fonts folder (by default C:\Windows\Fonts). That will install them.

The next time you open ChessPad , it should use the chess fonts.

  2. Thanks for this nice PGN utility.

    Ideas:

    1. Find & Replace option to change player names through the whole PGN.

    2. Same for Event and Site.

    3. A crosstable of the players.
