The tighter security in Windows 7 prevents fonts from accessing the system simply by viewing them. Fonts can contain executable code that could cause damage to your system.
Thank you Soquili.
Thanks for the heads up from me too
Download AMP Font Viewer 3.86 http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/FontViewer.php browse to Not installed fonts folder,pick one and use option Install font temporarily.It works.
Here is another way http://windows7themes.net/how-to-ins...windows-7.html see Installing fonts using a shortcut (advanced)
You can install a font in W7 by right-click >> Install

sledger I don't want to install it.I want to use uninstalled font in PSP.
Fair enough however my post was re; you post#6
Symbolic link or not, the font is 'installed' and written to the windows registry regardless of it's physical location.
Using a shortcut to a font as a symbolic link is fine, but removing it should still be done by uninstalling it from the font folder.
You can made a font available without installing it with dp4 font viewer, though I can'r say if it will work with PSP as I don't have it installed on my W7 machine.
I have just confirmed that dp4 font viewer as mentioned above works with Windows 7 34bit and 64bit AND makes the font temporarily available to PSP (and all other programs)
I am a new Windows 7 user and was very upset about my fonts. I found this thread through a Google search.
I am now doing the happy dance - dp4 font viewer did indeed work and all my hundreds of fonts can be used in PSP.
I am so pleased that I joined the talkgraphics group just to say. . .
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
