You may have to reboot before the font shows as installed.īut you should be able to right click on the font file in Windows Explorer and see the option to install the font. To get back to your problem, the way I add fonts it to copy the font directly into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. When I set up a new computer I just merge my master fonts folder into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder and all of my fonts are installed along with the standard Windows fonts for that version of Windows, so that I can open any job I've ever done and the fonts are there. The reason that I just figured this out is, that as a graphic designer I have my master fonts folder (about 700 fonts other then the standard Windows fonts) carry over, from install to install for many years (decades actually).
It used to be that there was an add fonts option accessible from the fonts icon in control panel. Well I was going to answer this, but when I checked I found that the whole install fonts thing has changed.
