Windows 10: Fonts not showing in Font Folder

Hi


I have a number of fonts that show up in Word and other programs but are not in the Windows 10 Font folder. How can I track where these fonts are so I can either install them in the Font Folder or delete them?


Thanks for any advice you may be able to give as I have wasted way too much time on this.

:)

Windows 10 Font Folder Not Showing Any Fonts


Hello,

I did something really stupid (in retrospect) and now I don't know how to fix it.

I had no idea it was going to cause a problem. I installed 30,000 fonts or so, and now the font folder in control panel is saying the font folder is empty.

I can't see the fonts in the folder to add or even delete any. However if I right click the folder itself under properties and it does the file count all the fonts are counted.

They also appear in applications. For example, in Open Office Writer in the Font drop down the fonts all appear.

I just can't get them to show in the font folder and I don't know what to do! I'd gladly delete some but I don't even have that option now. I created a monster in a sense.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
