My problem is Font Navigator keeps a certain number of Fonts "installed" (at hand).I am of the understanding this is a way of lightening the load...having less Fonts installed at any one time.
When I open Font Navigator and install a new Font in my available Fonts list, a Font is removed/replaced.I am unsure of how the choice is made, I assume its the oldest installed Font in the list, I don't know.But a Font will disappear from my drop-down list of available Fonts (in Coreldraw).
This would be annoying if it wasn't for the the feature of Corel temporarily using necessary Fonts when opening a Document.
However, I am finding that Fonts in other programs are changing as a result.For example, browser fonts switch to unacceptable choices.Fonts used in my Email program are different, and unacceptable.The font I am seeing right now, as i type this, is an Arial Black Bold type. lol
Even Fonts in the Coreldraw workspace change.Some things become very hard to see, because some fonts are just too small or fancy.The Corel Splash/Welcome screen has a very small, serifed Roman style font now.
In fact, just the act of opening Font Navigator when another program is running,will change certain Fonts in that program.I always close down everything before I use Font Nav.
I am guessing that Font Navigator is removing/replacing original OS installed Fonts. Why?I have tried to put Fonts back, but without knowing exactly what Fonts are supposed to be there...I can increase the number of allowed Fonts in my Font Navigator list, but this still doesn't put back anything already replaced.I don't know what OS fonts have been changed.
Some advice?

No, FontNavigator just create a shortcut to the font. The original font file remain on the folder
You have to columns of fonts, the lesft side is all the font that FontNav found on our computer, the right side are the installed fonts (under Window/Fonts). If you install a font, the font is on both sides. When you uninstall a font, it's only on the left side.

That sound a Windows conflict. Make sure that you have set Font Navigator to search all your fonts. Sometimes it's good to update the list (File/Find fonts)

FontNavigator can't remove or replace system fonts. Only can do it with some fonts that are used by the system (Arial, SegoeUI, Tahoma, Verdana) but FontNavigator don't remove a font by itself. If those fonts were desactivaded, maybe there was a conflict (the same font could be under different folders) or the same font is present on different file formats at teh same time (it could be OpenType, trueType, or Type 1) but you can easily reinstall it. For example, if you have installed Arial Black truetype and install Arial Black opentype, the same font is duplicated on the System, then Windows will disable it.
