How to Query the Microsoft Knowledge Base Using Keywords
- Q. After I upgraded to Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95, my fonts are not listed in the Win.ini file, but I can still use them. What happened?
A. Windows moves many of the items in .ini files,
such as the font listing, to the registry during Windows Setup. In
addition, Windows moves any fonts that are added to the
Win.ini file to the registry each time it starts.
- Q. Is PostScript font information stored in the registry?
A. No. PostScript fonts are installed by Setup programs as they are in earlier versions of Windows. PostScript font information remains in the Win.ini file.
- Q. Why does the TrueType Font Assistant from the Microsoft TrueType
Font Pack II not work in Windows?
A. The TrueType Font Assistant relies on font information that is recorded in the Win.ini file. The TrueType Font Assistant does not work because font information is not stored in the Win.ini file in Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.
- Q. Is Adobe Type Manager supported in Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95?
A. Yes. Adobe Type Manager version 3.02 or later is supported in Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.

- Q. In Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95, the Find tool may not find .ttf files in the
Fonts folder. Why?
A. The Fonts folder is a system folder and is not included in
searches. However, if you have installed the Windows Desktop
Update component or Microsoft Internet Explorer
4.0 or later, the Fonts folder is searched by the Find tool.
