D: is the drive which is mounted to where your xbe is currently placed not just the DVD drive. So if the xbe is in the e:\\ drive then you should still use d:\\font.bmf

This got me too...

As Wishi said. The directory that your XBE is in gets mounted ad D:\ when your app starts no matter where that is. So you need to use D:\ to refer to anything in or under that directory.... It's wierd but true.
