Hi Mary 

The standard PostScript fonts folder setup is as you have described. However, there is no reason why the metrics and outline files can't all be placed in just one folder. As for TrueType fonts, if you are using a font manager, it is actually preferable for them not to be in the Windows fonts folder, apart from some notable exceptions. These exceptions are the fonts Windows itself needs and any attempt to deactivate them or move them can cause problems. (Search this forum or the Microsoft site for a list of these fonts.) The others can go into the same folder as the PostScript fonts, as can OpenType fonts. 

Cheers, Dominic
