Font directories in Windows

I suspect that one Win7 computer has a different group of default fonts installed with the Win7 system. That's likely the culprit, but I could be dead wrong. I don't know if, like many Windows systems, Sigil will look for/use a font that it can find in the main font directories in the OS. I usually stick to what I know will work, OR, I embed fonts in Sigil to cover any characters that aren't displaying correctly (after I check encoding, etc.).

Hope that helps somehow.

WHAT do you mean by "main font directoires"? Are there multiple font directories and if so where they are. I have been keeping all my fonts in Fonts under Windows folder.
