Tips how to use fonts in Windows Vista:
1. Please keep your font groups collection in the My Documents root folder or in any folder you have an access to.
Earlier versions of FontExpert created groups within Program Files folder, now FontExpert will suggest a folder within My Documents.
If you have font groups collection located in Program Files\FontExpert\My Font Groups folder, please move this collection to any folder within your user profile.
For example, create “My Fonts” folder in My Documents, copy all font groups to this folder and choose this “My Fonts” folder as the root folder for font groups in FontExpert options:
Tools, Options, Groups, Font Groups root folder.
2. If you log on to Windows as a Standard user, you will not be allowed to delete fonts installed in standard Windows Fonts folder. Ask your Administrator to move required fonts from Fonts folder to any local folder in your user profile. Please note, that many fonts located in Fonts folder are shared by all users logging on to your computer, for example, fonts installed by MS Office.
3. In FontExpert when you install or uninstall fonts for personal use choose the default option: Leave files in their original location. (Another option “Copy files to Windows Fonts Folder” may fail because of lack of administrative privileges.)
