OSFONTDIR and Windows 10

OSFONTDIR and Windows 10

[Huseyin Özoguz]

Hello,

I just moved to Win 10 (coming from Win 7) with a fresh system and 
installed Context.

My problem: The manual installed fonts are not stored in "Windows/Font" 
like before, but in "AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Fonts" – the 
default Fonts, which came with windows, are still there in Windows/Font.

If I change OSFONTDIR to the new path and execute "mtxrun --script font 
--reload" after that, the new fonts are found by Context, but that seems 
no good way, because now the default-fonts are not found.

How to solve this situation? How can I prevent Win10 from installing 
manual installed fonts into this other path and instead install it into 
"Windows/Font"directly? (Other programs like Corel etc. have no problems 
finding those other fonts, regardles of there location or OSFONTDIR.)

Another solution: Give Context two pathes to look for fonts, is that 
possible?

Thank you.

Ok, solved. The problem was that Windows 10 by default installs new 
fonts only for the current User, not for all. I changed that, now 
everything is back to normal.
