I'm just want to make sure, but is the font folder in Windows 7 and in Vista still "C:\WINDOWS\fonts" ?

If not, or if it's changeable, is there an available ENVAR that will point me there?

To my knowledge it's still at that location. Are you having problems installing fonts?

Alright thank you. No, I have an application which depends on fonts, and few free fonts have Unicode glyphs, so I want to use the wide array provided by Microsoft, but I can't redistribute Windows fonts. So, I decided to peek in to the fonts folder and use a font there, defaulting to a free font if it's not there. Thanks, and I'll accept when it lets me =p – Aslai Apr 1 '11 at 0:52

You should use %windir%\Fonts in case the local installation of Windows is not in C:\Windows.

They are still there. Fonts can be installed outside of that directory by checking an option in control panel -> font settings, but even then you install the fonts by placing a shortcut in the fonts folder.
