 fonts can be installed from their location, even if it is not within windows fonts folder.
the easiest way would be to check what the registry entry for that font says.
Try this with extreme caution, do not delete or modify enything:
1. Start -> Run...
2. Type in "regedt32" and hit Enter
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
4. On that list find the desired installed font and see what the path or filename for that font.
5 If it is just a file name it is in the windows/fonts folder, if it is a path then that is where you should look for it.
Hope this helps

Dear Diana,
guess I had the same problem. The solution: add/change registry entries at location Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fonts. Looks tricky but isn't. I found the solution in a file (Windows95 or 98?) under win\tools\reskit\help\rk98book.chm, keywords "install fonts". Let me know, if you succeed.

Thanks. Actually I checked around a few sites via Google and found that this is in fact a common problem with Windows like you said (not sure if XP or 2000 corrects it in any way). Fonts have only one registry key, which takes up 64k, and so you can only install between 1000-1300 at any given time. BUT I found this excellent program called "The Font Thing" which can be downloaded here:

It's truly a great program. You can have all your fonts on your system (in a folder that you create) and you can easily browse thru them to see which ones you want to install or uninstall at any given time. You can see this program got a 92% approval, I used it last night and found it excellent. It lets you preview any sentence you write with multiple fonts at once. Personally I think you should create a prominent link to this, as anyone who downloads that 2000-font zip file will run into problems otherwise.
