When the names are known, it is easier, as long as you take into account that not everybody uses c:\Windows. Oh, and the methods of getting the filenames also change depending on which version of Windows you use.
For people it is easy, go to the font directory and just copy it...

Right. That's what I thought you meant. :-)
I wish it were not so easy. I think that between Atlantis and whats-its, um, Jutoh, there are likely thousands, if not tens of thousands, (especially good old TNR) unlicensed fonts in eBooks around the globe. I'm stupid. I license fonts all the time. I even licensed an extortionate (to my way of thinking) font, just because I HAD to have it. It was a sans, with an absolutely lovely G. (I know. I'm odd, at best.)
And have I used it? HARDLY. Planned to use it for my (then) new website. Ended up using something normal from the Goog.
