Install New Fonts Doesn't Work or Is Missing
SUMMARY: Unable to install fonts on your Windows XP system? These two tweaks may fix the problem.
On some systems, the "Install New Fonts" option either does not work or is missing. Plus, dragging and dropping fonts to your Fonts folder may make them available for usage in Windows XP applications. You can solve this problem in one of the following ways:
Via the Windows XP command line
1) Open a command prompt (click "Start", select "run", type cmd (without quotes) and press ENTER).
2) Type cd %WINDIR% and press ENTER.
3) Type attrib -s fonts
4) Type attrib +r fonts
5) Type attrib +s fonts
6) Type exit to close the command prompt.
While steps 3-5 may not all be necessary, depending on your system configuration you may not be able to run step 4 without running step 3 first.
