Hi BergeronJrmie-1488,

All fonts are installed for all apps. You can view them by doing the following:

Open Control Panel (type Control Panel in the search field and select it from the results). With Control Panel in Icon View, click the Fonts icon. Windows displays all the installed fonts.

The fonts in the deleted folder should be ignored.

I hope this answers your question.

    You must not read directories, but use classes/APIs like InstalledFontCollection (How to: Enumerate Installed Fonts)
    or EnumFontFamiliesEx
