Windows 10: Basic Font question?

Windows 10 Pro 21H1 19043.1110 Never had the need to do this before, but how do you install new fonts into the Font folder? I go to the Font folder in C/Windows/Fonts, but I can find no way to install the new fonts I have? They are ttf type. I tried drag and drop, doesn't work? Any advice would be welcome.

Unable to type symbols using Arial font on Pure Basic after Windows updates

Hello Marco,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to get the ★ symbol in the Pure Basic application using Arial font while programming after the Windows 10 updated to 1809.



I tried reproducing the same on my machine with Windows 10 1809, and I was unable to type the symbol using Arial font. However, I would suggest you to check this work around where in, you can select the Segoe UI symbol font, as the
★ symbol works fine on that font. You can follow the steps mentioned below to change the font.

1. Open Pure Basic application and click on File.
   
2. Now select Preferences and click on
   Editing option under Editor.
   
3. Now click on Select font and choose
   Segoe UI symbol.
   
4. Click on OK and Apply.
   
5. Click OK to close the editing window.
   

Hope it helps.
