📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses an issue where multiple users on the same Windows PC see differing font counts in the "C:\Windows\Fonts" folder when using the "ASTER Control" program. The original poster questions why one user account has fewer font files than another. A respondent suggests checking user-specific font directories like "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts" or "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts," explaining that fonts installed for individual users may not appear globally and that permissions or program settings could influence font availability for different accounts. The overall tone is technical and troubleshooting-oriented.

And for some reason one account has less files in folder ''C:\Windows\Fonts'' than the other account on same computer.

For each other user account, fonts can also be installed locally and not globally. This could especially be true if the user only has permissions to install fonts locally and does not have administrator privileges, or the program itself that they are using is...

For each other user account, fonts can also be installed locally and not globally. This could especially be true if the user only has permissions to install fonts locally and does not have administrator privileges, or the program itself that they are using is designed to only install the fonts for the local user.
