Windows may not have the concept, but it DOES have the function. If 
you display a font with the built-in FontView or just about any other 
font viewer or manager it becomes available to any other appliction, 
just as if installed. Once the viewer is closed, the font is no longer 
available.

As you said, some applications, such as MS Word, will recognize the 
newly available fonts immediately, while others may need to be restarted.

Note that if you have ATM installed, this will NOT work for Type 1 or 
PS-flavor Opentype fonts, since ATM uses its own display mechanism and 
  doesn't do the 'temporary install' that Fontview does. Incidentally, 
if ATM is installed, it won't let you view a non-installed version of 
a font that IS installed.
