How to resolve the "no new fonts" issue
Solution for the Control Panel to not install new fonts
Under the XP system, many friends may have encountered such a situation: To install fonts, copy the font to the c:windowsfonts, there should be no pop-up "install new font" hint, so that the copy into the folder font can not be used, open the "Control Panel/font", found that "New installation fonts" also disappeared, How do I fix a new font that cannot be installed?
There are three possible causes for this situation:
1. The properties of the Fonts folder are not "system" and "Read Only" (Fonts folder properties must be system and read only).
Workaround: start running cmd carriage return
Enter attrib +s+r c:windowsfonts
Shutdown, and then re-enter Windows, the font folder will be back to normal.
2. The Desktop.ini file under C:windows fonts is corrupted.
Create a new file "Desktop.ini" under the C:windowsfonts folder, open with Notepad, and enter the following:
[. ShellClassInfo]
uiclsid={bd84b380-8ca2-1069-ab1d-08000948f534}
Then change the file name to Desktop.ini, and change the file property to read only, hide, reboot the machine and reinstall the font.
Principle: XP system under the C:windowsfonts is a more special folder, even if the tool-Folder options selected as all files visible, this folder under the configuration file "Desktop.ini" still cannot be displayed, open method only in the address bar input C: Windowsfontsdesktop.ini can be displayed. So when it comes to dealing with a problem, this profile is missing. And many friends in the optimization of the system often search all desktop.ini and then delete, so mistakenly deleted this file caused fonts can not be installed.
3. The Fontext.dll file under C:windows system is corrupted.
solution: Download Fontext.rar decompression to C:windowssystem32 can be solved
