>They are in various directories: Control Panel\Fonts Take care: this is NOT a directory. Rather, it's where you go to run a program. The fonts control panel shows all the fonts installed into your system. (It doesn't show all the fonts that exist: Adobe programs also search their own special directories. But these are not installed in Windows, because no other programs can use them). The fonts shown in the control panel COULD be anywhere. However, most of them will be found in the Windows fonts folder. Now, here is where it gets really complicated. The Windows fonts folder is "magic" in two ways. 1. If you try to open the fonts control panel in Windows Explorer or on your desktop, it doesn't do that. Instead it opens the Fonts control panel. This shows all your installed fonts, even if they aren't in the actual font folder. 2. When you open the fonts control panel, Windows searches for any new fonts in the fonts FOLDER and installs them.
