How To Install Russian Fonts For Windows 7

Is there a general way to use custom fonts from some other location suitable for non-admin users? If not, is there any manner specific for Adobe Fireworks (CS3) and Office 2007?
I'm interested mainly in XP and Vista, but a solution that works for other Windows versions would be great.

Adding and removing system fonts is an Administrator task, and will be denied to users who don't have the admin permissions (Power User is actually probably enough), as they could really mess up Windows by deleting or replacing standard system fonts. :)
From what I read here you should be able to give the users write access to their WindowsFonts folder, and that will let them install fonts.
Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007Using custom fonts without administrator privileges is possible with the PortableApps.com platform (introduced in version 10.0).
To use custom fonts:
Download and extract the PortableApps.com platform
Copy the font files to the
<PortableApps>PortableAppsPortableApps.comDataFontsdirectory. Create this folder if it does not already exist.Close and restart the PortableApps.com platform.
The fonts should now be usable in other applications while the PortableApps.com platform is running.
iglvzxiglvzxThere is a workaround I've used on XP; I can't say if it works on other Windows versions.
If you double click on any font file, wherever it's saved, you'll get a preview window. Until you close this window, the font will be available for use in other apps, although a few may need restarting.
I believe this works because the preview automatically and temporarily installs the font in order to render it, and this temporary installation doesn't involve adding the font to the Fonts folder, therefore doesn't require admin rights.
Edit: Just tested copying a font file's shortcut into the Fonts folder, and that seems to work for me as well, but I'm sure I've tried it without success previously.

Windows 7 Install Multiple Fonts
Have you ever wanted to use your own fonts from your account on a shared school or work PC, but couldn’t because you didn’t have the administrator privileges required to install the fonts? Well, we’ve heard your frustration about this and have made some changes.
In the past, fonts in Windows have always been installed for all users. Because that is a system-wide change, it always required admin privilege. The need for an admin was reflected in the user interface. For example, if you browse in File Explorer to a folder containing a font file and right-clicked on the file to bring up the context menu, then the “Install” option would appear with the security badge, which means that it requires an admin.
phuclvphuclvNexusFont is a freeware font manager which can be used to manage installed fonts (with admin priviliges), or make certain fonts available at runtime (without admin privs). For this latter feature just run NexusFont and add font group(s) you like. The font files can reside in any folder. As long as NF is running, applications can use the fonts. NF can be used portably.
On windows 7 there are some quirks which take a bit of experimenting to get the hang of. The biggest one being that if you install using symbolic links don't disable by deleting the files as it deletes the files and not just the symlinks. In this case disable (uninstall) the fonts but use the 'leave the files where they are' option.
matt wilkiematt wilkieWinFonts4All also works on a user-level (Tested: Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10).
It monitors all fonts in %userprofile%Fonts and registers them for the current user-session. It even has a GUI :)

Yes,you can load font without admin privileges.Take a look at AddFontResource function.You can use Font Xplorer (freeware) to load fonts from a local folder.I tested it on Win7 (probably works in win8 too).
Just uncheck 'copy fonts to Fonts Folder' check box and install the font.The installed fonts will be available only for that session.Every time you login you have to repeat this task

Often, when I am designing a new document, I find the default fonts are just plain boring. The good news is that you can easily find and install new fonts to your computer; and there are plenty of sites that will allow you to download new fonts for free. So if I want to trade Arial in for a snazzier new sans-serif, I can!
In previous versions of Windows, you had to install fonts by accessing the file menu in the Control Panel. However, installing fonts in Windows 7 can be as easy as drag and drop.
In this guide, you will see two different ways to install new fonts in Windows 7. But before you get started, remember to download any new fonts you want to use to your computer (I know, common sense, but still).
Installing New Fonts in Windows 7 With Drag and Drop
Step 1: First, click the Start, go to the Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization.
Step 2: Click the Fonts folder, and then minimize the folder. You will need it soon.
Step 3: Access the folder or area where you have saved the downloaded font (I saved to my desktop), and then double-click the folder to open it.
Step 4: You may see multiple folders, depending on the font you have chosen. Since this is a Windows guide, you don’t need to keep the folder for the MAC OS. Double-click the folder not labeled MAC OS.
Step 5: In the folder, locate the item with a font File Type.
Step 6: Drag the font file to the Fonts folder (minimized in the separate window) to copy the file to the folder.
Congratulations! You have improved your design repertoire with a freshly installed font! And just think…all you had to do was drag and drop!
Installing New Fonts in Windows 7 With Right-Click
Step 1: Same first step as mentioned above. Access the font folder you downloaded.
Step 2: Again, double-click the folder not labeled MAC OS.
Step 3: In the folder, locate the item with a font File Type.
Step 4: Right-click the font file, and then click Install.
And that’s it! You have a new font available at your fingertips!
Windows 7 makes installing new fonts a much less time consuming process than in previous versions. This way, you can spend less time sorting through your computer’s files, and more time creating beautiful things.
