According to Amr on 10/8/2008 6:58 PM:

Thanks for the report. However, it appears that you have a
misunderstanding on the syntax for cp. And you could have provided more
details on what you were trying to accomplish, along with your screen capture.
> Usage: cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
> or: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
In this case, the [] are metasyntactic devices meaning that what they
enclose is optional; the literal [] are not part of what you type. The
error message from cp reinforces this - you asked to copy a file literally
named "[src", which does not exist. Do you really have a directory named
'src\nwindows', with the newline in there? Perhaps you meant to type
something like this?
cp srcwindows/Amr-1/WINDOWS/Fonts/*ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
