1.   If I select – Control Panel – Appearance and Personalization – Fonts – ALT – File, I find I have no Install Font option.
2.   Search on the net and find FAQs answers for a SOLUTION. I found an MS-Dos option, where I could start – F8 – Repair – and then type: cd\windows (enter), attrib_-r_-a_-h_fonts (enter), attrib_+s_fonts (enter), Ctrl+Alt+Del.
3.   I checked in my fonts folder and discovered that there were no fonts there.
4.   I opened Microsoft Word and discovered that all the fonts were still available to use in the dropdown menu.
5.   I did a system restore—on completion, it said that nothing had been restored.
6.   I shut down and rebooted, and all the fonts in my font folder had been restored.
7.   Last year, I switched from Open Office to Microsoft, and I’d installed a font into Open Office, and this font appears in the font folder but not in the Microsoft Office dropdown menu—which means it’s difficult to use, i.e., 1. Open the file with the font. 2. Highlight the font in the font field. 3. Copy. 4. Open NEW document. 5. Paste into the font field, and you’ve got it, but it’s still not selectable from the dropdown menu.
I would like to install some new fonts and to be able to use them. Could anyone offer any help?
My computer is an ASUS K53E. It is installed with Windows 7 x64. I have the latest version of Microsoft Office. (i.e., I installed it in June 2013, but I pay monthly, so I presume it gets updated.)
You should be able to just copy and paste to the fonts folder. Maybe you can't see them because hidden and system files are DISABLED?Right click on the font file which you want to install.

Then select install.

Thats all.
