  1. Font: system says it's installed, but it doesn't show up inside programs


    I switched computers last week and I tried to move all my fonts to the new computer, but I'm having some trouble.


    First, I copied all the fonts from the old computer and pasted them into the fonts folder of the new computer. But it seems that didn't entirely work. On the new computer, when opening many files, I get error messages about missing fonts. I so turn to the old computer, grab the specific fonts, and move them into the fonts folder of the new computer. It says they're already installed. I close and re-open my programs, and it still says they're missing.


    Alternatively, I will put some fonts into a folder on my desktop, then right-click on the fonts and choose "Install". This allows me to use these fonts in Microsoft Word, but I still cannot use them in my Adobe programs. Then, after restarting, these fonts seem to have disappeared completely. (Except when I copy/paste into the Fonts folder, it still says they already exist.


    Windows Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763

    Thanks for any help with this.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    not all fonts installed on the system (C:\Windows\Fonts) are shown


    picture 1 : on Photoshop fonts menu the fonts name are shown but not exhibited
    all fonts on this list I am missing used to be inside C:\windows\fonts

    Font: system says it's installed, but it doesn't show up inside programs [​IMG]



    Picture 2 : C:\windows\fonts Those fonts listed on Photoshop fonts list are no longer inside fonts folder (?!) ....
    ... and it was not me who uninstalled them

    I tried to do the same than you inside the Powershell (PS C:\WINDOWS\System> 1s c:\windows\fonts ) ,
    however the term 1s was not recognized as cmdlet , function , etc etc ;
    Thanks

    Won`t let me link my Microsoft Account to the Windows Insider Program settings page

    Whenever I go onto the Insider Program settings page, it doesn`t say you can link an account. I am an admin though
