OSFONTDIR and Windows 10

Hello, I just moved to Win 10 (coming from Win 7) with a fresh system and installed Context. My problem: The manual installed fonts are not stored in "Windows/Font" like before, but in "AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Fonts" – the default Fonts, which came with windows, are still there in Windows/Font. If I change OSFONTDIR to the new path and execute "mtxrun --script font --reload" after that, the new fonts are found by Context, but that seems no good way, because now the default-fonts are not found. How to solve this situation? How can I prevent Win10 from installing manual installed fonts into this other path and instead install it into "Windows/Font"directly? (Other programs like Corel etc. have no problems finding those other fonts, regardles of there location or OSFONTDIR.) Another solution: Give Context two pathes to look for fonts, is that possible? Thank you. -- Huseyin Özoguz Schilfweg 52a 27751 Delmenhorst E-Mail: h.oezoguz@mmnetz.de Tel.: 0176/20203416

Ok, solved. The problem was that Windows 10 by default installs new fonts only for the current User, not for all. I changed that, now everything is back to normal.
