16.5. Font Files
One of the subdirectories beneath %systemdrive%\Windows is the Fonts folder. This folder holds the fonts that are available for viewing and printing. A font is a collection of characters, each of which has a similar appearance (for example, the Arial font). A font family is a group of fonts that have similar characteristics. Fontmapper is the routine within Windows that maps an application's request for a font with particular characteristics to the available font that best matches those characteristics.
