Mmnnn!
Not so sure about that. (EFP 5.18u)
I've been using EFP since the beginning but have learned from hard
experience, installing fonts straight into it can cause biggy problems, so
big in fact that it becomes unusable and I have to drag a backup copy out
of the NAS to replace it.

My method of choice, particularly with an !effTTT coversion is to first
install it in ...Resources.!Fonts to test it out.

If it works okay, uninstall it from !Fonts then install it in EFP and see
what happens.
I have quite a number of Fonts (But only a few from effTT) that have to
remain in Fonts because installing them in EFP wrecks it.

And of course I must *never ever* attempt to use EFP in WYSIWYG display
mode.
That really is a disaster of the total kind.

Title    : Error from EasyFont PRO V5
Task     : EasyFont Pro
Message  : Error while redrawing at line 9515(Internal error: Abort on
data transfer at &038C81D8)

And on clearing the error message, EFP vanishes and thereafter is
unusable, until replaced with the backup NAS copy.
