I Might have resolved the problem - I have installed PortableApps.com and all the files are based there, so I hope the loader looks for the fonts in the PortableApps.com directory

I am NOT paying £130 for this sim. I might have resolved the issue anyways, and if I resolved it, I will make a YouTube video and post it up here.
Stephen was right, it is HTML, and if you noticed, this topic has been conveniently titled "USB Install?", so there is no excuse for this now!

No, it asks Windows for the specified font. Windows is the one that decides where it will look. Maybe that portableapps thing will convince Windows to look on your portable drive but I can't guarantee that.

This is why I tried to jump over all that ; maybe use Virtualbox to run a version of XP off a stick, and the VM have Simsig installed. This is exactly what we do at work , to work within standard lockdown restrictions.

I've also directed where the computer should look for files but to no avail.
