Information About Installed Fonts

Information about the fonts installed on your system are kept in the Windows NT Registry. As shown in the following illustration, most of the information about installed fonts is kept in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE key.

For more information, see "Registry Entries for Fonts" in Chapter 14, "Registry Value Entries."

If you installed Windows NT on a computer that previously had Windows 3.x installed, the Registry will include entries showing you where to find that information previously found in the [Fonts] and [FontSubstitutes] sections of the WIN.INI file. For example, to find information that used to be in the [Fonts] section of the WIN.INI file, look in the following location in the Registry:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
