Synopsis

Control Panel → Fonts[10]

control fonts

Description
The Fonts folder is merely a folder on your hard disk (specifically,
\Windows\fonts). However, when viewed in
Explorer, it’s configured to display a list of
installed fonts instead of a list of the contents of the folder. (The
two aren’t necessarily the same thing.) Select View
→ Details for more the most useful listing, which,
among other things, allows you to match up a font name with the file
in which it’s stored (see Figure 4-37).
Figure 4-37. The Details view of the Fonts folder shows the relationships between your font names and font filenames
Right-click a font file and select Properties to see bunch of additional information pertaining to the font, such as hinting and font smoothing properties, copyright information, font vendor information, and whether such fonts can be embedded.
To view a preview of an installed font, just double-click its name;
see Font Viewer, earlier in this
chapter, for more information. To delete a font, delete it as
you’d delete any file (press the
Del key or drag-drop it into the Recycle Bin).
To install a font (as long as it’s one of the
supported types), just drag-drop it into the
Fonts folder. Supported typeface formats include
TrueType (.ttf), Adobe Type 1
(.pfm and .pfb
