If you select the %SystemRoot%\Fonts folder in explorer, the menus should change to include:
File menu:
- Open
- Print
- Install New Font
View menu:
- List Fonts By Similarity
- Hide Variations (Bold, Italics, Etc.)
You have used TweakUI to repair the Fonts but to no avail.
The functionality of the Fonts folder depends upon:
- The System attribute being set.
- A valid Fontext.dll being present in %SystemRoot%\System32.
- A valid Desktop.ini in the Fonts folder (you can not see this file using explorer).
To repair the Fonts functionality:
- At a command prompt, type:
%SystemDrive%
CD %SystemRoot%
attrib +s fonts
- Expand the Fontext.dll from the NT CD-ROM:
expand <Drive:>\i386\fontext.dl_ %SystemRoot%\system32\fontext.dll
- Expand Desktop.ini from the NT CD-ROM:
expand <Drive:>\i386\Desktop.in_ %SystemRoot%\Fonts\Desktop.ini
Shutdown and restart Windows NT.
Note: This procedure might also fix a Missing TrueType tab when you use options /view in the Fonts folder and may correct an incomplete Fonts list in some applications.
