    Fonts in a different folder

    TO reduce the load on my already burdened clunker PC, i've placed several of the font TTF files in C:/windows/fonts2

    When I open up MS-Word, how can I 'include' these fonts in there or use them?

    No can do, windows searches a single designated directory for all of the installed fonts on the system. You might be able to find a registry setting to change the name of the fonts path, but so far as picking the fonts up from different locations - ain't gonna do it buddy!

    I could have sworn I read something about what I was trying somewhere, a couple months back. I wish I had better memory tho. Thanks anyways.
