by default we install every font in XP's font folder and we have to keep any font in "fonts" folder forever.

I want to use any font from any folder and only on demand like in Adobe Photoshop i want to use a font only in one design then i don't need.

Why does it matter where the font is located? You clearly have your reasons, so please edit them in. – Ivo Flipse Feb 23 '10 at 12:05

Some font managers support the creation of "font sets", groups of fonts you can activate and desactivate at will. Most of work work with fonts stored in different locations (even if it moves them automatically in the Font directory when needed).

An example of such a program is FontExpert 2009 Font Manager. It's not free though, but I'll keep on look for other programs like that one.
