Missing 'Install Font' option. Fonts missing from 'Preview'.
Running Windows 7 64-bit and quite happy with it except for the irritation that all my fonts aren't availalble for Preview. CP->Appearance ... -> Fonts shows me only 11 out of 700+ installed fonts. I also don't have an "Install Font" option available
under 'File'. I've read that doing a re-install has fixed this issue for some but that's not really an option as far as I'm concerned. There's nothing in Font Settings that should be an issue so I'm stuck :-/
Most likely the fonts that are installed on your computer are hidden. Check for the same by following these steps.
1.Open Fonts by clicking the
Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking
Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
2.Now click
Organize and click Folder and search options.
3.Click the
View tab and check to select Show hidden files, folders and drives.
4.Click
Apply and OK. Check to see if you see all the fonts.
(Make sure you unhide the hidden files after the troubleshooting is done by selecting
Do not show hidden files, folders and drives.)
Try performing the clean boot procedure and check if it helps. Refer:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Note: Make sure you put the computer back to Normal Startup once troubleshooting is completed.
If this does not help, run a SFC scan to check for the issue.
