Sometimes Drag&Drop don’t work, same as just copying/link file. Then you need to use standard way.

You don’t really need some extra software for that. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo (a hidden folder) and make a link to the fonts folder. This way you can copy and thus install a font via send to in the right-click menu.

I use this one on XP, don’t know if it works an all Windows.

I've noticed that too with c:\windows\fonts, although dragging files to the "magic" Control Panel → Fonts folder does seem to work as well as File → Install Font. I had an argument with Raymond Chen on his blog recently — MS thinks nobody uses File → Install Font any more, and that therefore they don't need to worry about making it usable. It's unfortunate.

Copying font file to the fonts folder does not equal installing it properly.

I had encountered applications that required manual install through File>Install font in fonts dir or they were unable to use font.

Yea, you can justdrag the font file to the fonts directory, which can be found on your control panel or c:\windows\fonts

1. Make a shortcut of c:\windows\fonts on your desktop.

2. And just drag and drop fonts in to that folder. Simple!

Uhh, you don’t need to install extra SW to do this. A *tiny* BAT script will do the job

@echo off
copy %1 %WINDIR%\Fonts
pause

Associate that script with a new Action for TTF, etc, files thru the Folder Options -> File Types dialog.
