I never install fonts into my font folder. I always keep them in a separate folder and when I want access to them, I simply open the font and minimize it to my tool bar and any program that I open will now have access to that font, so long as it stays open and minimized in my tool bar.

To view a font, I use a font viewer program called "Printer's Apprentice"

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
