Windows10 - tty files not found

[erhard]

Windows10
ttf file not found.
I click on -File- -Open- (*.ttf, *.otf)
A list of maps is displayed as with Windows Explorer.
I go to the Map Windows and search for Fonts, but this map is not there.
When I open Windows with the Explorer, the map Fonts is there, and I find all the fonts, mainly tty fonts, and others.
Can anyone explain, why the fonts in Typ Light are not available?
Many thanks in advance!

Are you trying to open a font that is located in the windows/fonts directory? If so, you should not do this, copy the font that you want to open to another user directory (eg desktop or my documents etc) before trying to open it. Also, do not try and save fonts directly into the windows/fonts directory.

Please also see the common issues page of the getting started chapter of the manual.
