An additional way to use fonts temporarily without reinstalling them into
the FONTS folder is simply to double click on the font file and bring up the
explorer window that shows the font properties (typeface name, file size,
version, and sample printing). After you have the font in memory then start
the program in which you want to use the font.

This trick works well for graphics programs like PaintShopPro where the font
will eventually be converted to a graphic and so it isn't needed in memory
all the time. Or if you are using a special font for a poster in a
publishing program, you can load the font into memory, use it, print the
poster and then close the font properties screen after.
