In your root directory on the c:\ drive, you now have a file called font.txt that has all of the installed fonts right now.
Just use notepad, or any ASCII viewer, to look at the file.
Edit: I forgot to mention. The reason that you do not see the fonts folder is that it normally is hidden. You will have to enable view hidden files/folders to see it. What I described above will work any way.
Okay - the problem was it was considered a System Folder, not just a Hidden Folder. I've never used a computer that hid the fonts before.... I guess the real question is why was it hidden from the Command query (generally used by folks who are knowledgable about operating systems) and not hidden from Explorer (available to anyone who can use a mouse). Go figure.
That's exactly what I was trying to do, however the command CD \windows\fonts responds "path not valid" or some such - besides, I can see & access the folder in Windows Explorer, so it's obviously not hidden...

Try this.
Start > Run
Then type CMD and click OK.
Then type CD C:\Windows\Fonts
and hit enter
Then enter this command:
dir > c:\fonts.txt

Thanks for the hints.

Hints? I told you it was hidden. Not much of a hint if you ask me. :smileywink:
