Can I just copy old fonts folder from old installation to new?

Hi. I have a new install of W7 Ult. On my old HD (still intact), I have many fonts in my Windows/Fonts folder that I had found and d/l-ed over the years. I would like to not loose these - am trying to avoid picking out the non-standard fonts one by one. Can I just take the fonts folder from the old installation and merge it with the folder from the new install?

Thanks in advance.

Generally it's best to Install the Fonts desired so programs know about them. Copying to the Fonts Folder may be a choice during the Install. I've done it with Fonts I stored on a CD.

So, this can in fact be done. Just open C:\Windows\Fonts, open the old fonts folder (so you can actually see the fonts in both folders), select all the fonts from the old folder, drag them to C:\Windows\Fonts, answering "no" to replacing current fonts. Select "do this for all items" (or whatever the verbiage is). Worked just fine here.

Cheers.
