Adding fonts from old computer

Topic

New Reply

I have over 100 TTF fonts ( a few pcl fonts), and yes I want all of them, in a usb hard drive from my old computer. I would like to move them over to windows 7. It seems that if I just copy them to the win7 directory does not install them. Would hate to have to manually click on each font and install.
If I drag versus pasting will this work or other means?
Thanks
JK

From the on line help of Windows 7

Install or delete fonts
Windows comes with a variety of fonts already installed. For more information, see Change your font settings.
If you want to install additional fonts, you must first download them. You can download fonts from a software program, the Internet, or your organization’s network.
Note
Before you download a font, make sure you trust the source.
To install a font
Right-click the font you want to install and click Install.
Tip
You can also install a font by dragging it into Fonts in Control Panel.

I believe that you can select several fonts and then right click then install will install all of them

perfect, DRAGGING was the charm. Copying and pasting did not work, Could not select all in bulk and double click to install all.
Thx
