This article was previously published under Q160696



SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Publisher on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT Workstation, version 4.0, the Setup program copies all the TrueType font files to the following folder:   C:\WinNT\System Ideally under Windows NT 4.0, setup programs should copy font files to this folder instead:   C:\WinNT\Fonts



CAUSE
The Publisher Setup program determines whether you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT. It does not determine whether you have version 3.51 or version 4.0 of Windows NT. If Setup determines you have Windows NT, it always copies the font files to the \System folder, because this is where they should go under Windows NT 3.51.



RESOLUTION
It's not a problem to have font files in the WinNT\System folder. You can still use the fonts successfully. If you don't want the fonts to be there, you can move them to the \Fonts folder yourself.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Publisher 98.
