SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Font Assistant in Windows 95, you see no fonts or only a few of the fonts installed on the computer.

CAUSE

Windows 95 has moved the installed font list from the [fonts] section of the Win.ini file to the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Fonts and moved the font files to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.

RESOLUTION

Use the Fonts folder in Windows 95 to manage your fonts or contact your third-party Font Manager vendor for a version compatible with Windows 95.

To use the Windows 95 Font Manager, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel on the menu that appears.
  2. Double-click the Fonts folder.
  3. Double-click the Font icon to view that font.
