Where do you go to check to see what fonts are kept on your computer?
Also - if you want to download fonts or purchase new fonts, where do
you load them into on your PC?

Hi poodooz,

All the fonts on your computer are stored in a folder in Windows.

Go to C > Windows > Fonts and you should find them there.

===============================

How to Install a Font in Windows

1. Click on "Start", then "Settings", then "Control Panel".

2. Click on the "Fonts" icon.

3. Click "File", then "Install New Font". 

4. Use the Folders Directory box to go to the location where the font
was saved.  (Use the "Drives" drop-down to select the appropriate
drive, if not "C:")

5. The font(s) in the selected folder will display in the "List of
Fonts" box.  Use Ctrl+click to select individual fonts to install, or
the "Select All" button to include the whole list.

6. Click "OK" and the fonts will be installed and copied into the
Fonts directory.  The desired font is now available for use!

Isn't it only True Type fonts placed in this folder? If someone wants
to store and access [PostScript] Type 1 fonts (separate screen and
printer file making up the font)they'll need a font management program
such as ATM Light [Adobe free licence] or Linotype's Font Explorer;
another free software.

There are literally thousands of T1 fonts available that would greatly
enhance any designers font portfolio.
