The easiest way is to extract them, otherwise you are into over-installing.

If you use find file and type: .CAB (*.cab in '98)

... and then, on the second line add any of the files below you will find all of these fonts in the WIN_17.CAB Folder. Just extract them with a right-click and place them into the: C:\WINDOWS\FONTS Folder.

I have 27 system fonts on this Pan-European version of ME all in C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\*.FON

Other true type fonts have a .TTF extension.

Of the 27, only 7 show, whilst the other 19 are hidden system fonts.

ALL 29 have a red A (Archive) icon.

The 20 hidden files are:

8514FIX.FON
8514OEM.FON
8541SYS.FON
APP850.FON
COURE.FON
COURF.FON
DOSSAPP.FON
MODERN.FON
SERIFE.FON
SERIFF.FON
SMALLE.FON
SMALLF.FON
SSERIFE.FON
SSERIFF.FON
SYMBOLE.FON
SYMBOLF.FON
VGA850.FON
VGAFIX.FON
VGAOEM.FON
VGASYS.FON

The 7 which show are:

WST_CZEC.FON
WST_ENGL.FON
WST_FREN.FON
WST_GERM.FON
WST_ITAL.FON
WST_SPAN.FON
WST_SWED.FON

XWCLCD.fon is for the Xerox printer, and
VIROUT.FON IS FOR AVG Grisoft Anti-Virus

I extracted the DOSSAPP.FON myself. It does not usually show since DOS was partially removed.

You should compare this with a US System.
