Access to the Windows font folder seems to be generally problematic: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29139381/Windows-10-Font-Folder-nightmare.html https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-access-denied-folders-windows-10/ https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/185037-remove-admin-requirements-for-user-font-installation |

|
This is not actually related to 4085. Separate issues entirely. |
|
|
An easy work around is to copy the font files to a directory to which the user has rights. |
|
|
This batch file fixes the problem. Run as administrator. attrib -r -s "c:\windows\fonts" takeown /f "c:\windows\fonts" icacls "c:\windows\fonts" /t /grant "authenticated users":(OI)(CI)F From here. |
|
|
not a FreeCAD problem. |
|
|
adding parameter "DontUseNativeDialog" (true) to BaseApp/Preferences/Dialog allows access to the Windows/Fonts folder. Dialog appearance will be slightly altered. |
