Why this occurs is a mystery but it also doesn't mean you are out of options. In other instances, if a font is not installed via the correct installation method, Windows may just crash the whole font panel completely after you drag your font file over and not give you any reason as to why this has happened. Rather, Windows can take on some quirky behaviors in these situations.įor example, if you try to install a non-compatible font into the fonts panel directly, Windows may refuse the file while appearing to accept it - this means it will look like the font has installed but in reality, it hasn't and you won't know this until you actually try to locate it in your design program and find that it's not there. What's going on here and how do I fix this?Ī: One would think Windows would notify you at time of installation that you were installing a font improperly or installing a font that was incompatible with your system. But, that's not always the case, believe it or not. Q: I am trying to install some fonts onto my PC for a design project I have, but when I drag the fonts into the installation area in the fonts page in my settings, the window closes immediately and the fonts do not install.
