There is a catalog of TTF fonts. I press Ctrl + A , then the context menu, but there is nothing about the installation.

In the Control Panel → Fonts section there is also nothing to install. There is a view, delete, some kind of hiding. However, if the font is one, then the Install item appears in the context menu . But what about when there are many fonts in the list?

PS Even copying to the Fonts directory has come to nothing.

    Here in this short article everything is described

    Another way to install fonts is that you need to open the font control panel (Control Panel \ All Control PanelItems \ Fonts) and simply drag and drop (Drag & Drop) to drag the font file into this window.

    If you need to install several fonts at once, you can just select them with the mouse and drag them to the panel.

      In Windows 7, fonts similar in name (the word “typeface” is not quite right here) are automatically grouped into fonts. A group of fonts can be opened by double clicking on its icon in the Fonts window of the Control Panel. It should be understood that the name of the style is often different from the name of the font file, and is located inside this file. Therefore, in the group of similar fonts there can be several fonts with the same names of faces, but with different file names. In this case, only the first one in the list of outline names always works. In addition, in Windows 7, some fonts are inactive (shaded gray), depending on the region settings.

      Therefore, any way to install fonts in Windows 7 does not always lead to predictable results.

      What you need to do:

      1. Understand groups of similar fonts and remove unnecessary fonts from there, or rename them with the same name (this can be done using FontManager programs).
      2. To enable all fonts, regardless of the region settings, in the left part of the Fonts window of the Control Panel, click the Font Parameters link, and in the window that opens, uncheck the option "Hide fonts based on current language settings"

        Just copy the font files you need into C: \ Windows \ Fonts (assuming that your system disk is C). Even reboot is not necessary. If it does not help - definitely a problem with the system, if there is nothing valuable - reinstall. The advice is, of course, so-so, but I can’t say more, because I can’t touch the problem computer either.
