Added fonts are not recognized

[andrew-hoffman]

Issue with the 0.9.6 win98-stock install and maybe other images: Dragging font files into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder copies them but does not actually install the font. The Install New Font option in the file menu is missing.

Solution:
Add the System attribute to C:\Windows\Fonts (run attrib +s C:\Windows\Fonts ) and reboot and then new fonts will be recognized. The Install New Fonts menu and the special sorting options reappear in the Fonts folder.

edit: only System attribute is needed, i think Windows Explorer uses this attribute to mark directories with special handling. Definitely true for Fonts, Recycled, and Scheduled Tasks.

I think there may be other issues with missing file and folder attributes compared to a vanilla install, here's what i got.

Files missing the System attribute:
C:\io.sys (should be System, Hidden, Read-Only)
C:\videorom.bin (file is missing completely in QuickInstall, why? internet says it's necessary for multiple monitors but doesn't elaborate.)
C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop.htt

Directories missing System attribute:
C:\Recycled
C:\Windows\Fonts
C:\Windows\Web
C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files
C:\Windows\Favorites
C:\Windows\Tasks
C:\Windows\All Users\DRM (folder missing in QuickInstall, if this is from MSDN then never mind)
C:\Windows\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Thanks for reporting, I will put it on the list for 0.9.7

Don't expect a fix before the end of the year though... too busy :(
