Cannot Install New Fonts in Windows, Install New Fonts Command is Missing in File Menu

If you have downloaded some fonts from Internet or anywhere else, you can install them in your Windows by using following method: 1. Type fonts in RUN dialog box and press Enter.
2. It'll open Fonts folder. Click on "File -> Install New Font..." option, browse to the folder containing font files and click on Install button. It'll install new fonts.
But sometimes people face strange problem. They cannot find the "Install New Font..." option in "File" Menu. If you are also facing this problem, then use following method to fix the problem:
1. Open Command Prompt and provide following commands:
CD\Windows
Attrib +s +r fonts
2. Restart your Windows and now your problem should be fixed.
3. If it doesnt work, then extract the "fontext.dll" file from Windows Setup CD and copy it to "%windir%\System32" and "%windir%\System32\DLLcache" folders.
