font folder backup

[elvelar]

I collect and use a large number of different fonts, and
due to crashes, OS upgrades, etc., I've lost my fonts
three times now. How can I backup my font folder to a zip
or cd disk? Windows seems to resist this.
Thanks,
Elvelar

It's not too hard to do......

Open C:\windows\Fonts in Windows Explorer
Highlight the Fonts Folder
Right click and select Copy
Paste into another folder on Hard disk ready for CD burning or other backup
media.
Rename the copied Fonts folder to say "font". "Fonts" is a system folder
much like Favorites, very difficult to copy the names from one t'other.
