I just want to make sure, but is the font folder in Windows 7 and in Vista still "C:\WINDOWS\fonts" ?

If not, or if it's changeable, is there an available ENVAR that will point me there?

You should use %windir%\Fonts in case the local installation of Windows is not in C:\Windows.

To my knowledge it's still at that location. Are you having problems installing fonts?

They are still there. Fonts can be installed outside of that directory by checking an option in control panel -> font settings, but even then you install the fonts by placing a shortcut in the fonts folder.

Great advice but what are the steps for doing this. This is like giving a little child a candy in a wrapper that they cant open. Unfortunately many forums are like this, only half of the solution is given or people post a problem but there is no FIX shown.

Becomes a total waste of time, I avoid most forums and answer sites for this reason. Frustrating to say the least.

Try This(worked for me) Start:Run: copy "%windir%\Fonts" from above and paste it into the open box and click ok. Sends you to Add Fonts Under folders (c:\windows\fonts) Click on Fonts Folder. list of fonts box will now populate. Find the font you want and click on install
