SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade an earlier version of Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups 3.x to Windows 95, your font files are not moved from the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory to the Windows FONTS subdirectory.

CAUSE

Windows 95 does not have a means to move your existing font files from the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory to the Windows FONTS subdirectory.

WORKAROUND

If you prefer to keep your fonts in one central location, simply move the font files from the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory to the Windows FONTS subdirectory.
