See JDK-8218914: Starting from build 17704, Windows 10 supports per-user font installation > (see > https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/06/27/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-17704/#SgtQaWxPhRKl3mHR.97). > This installation method actually becomes default, while 'Install for all > users' action does it now the old (system-wide) way. > JRE currently doesn't recognize fonts installed in the new way.

Starting with Java 13, java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment::getAllFonts() can correctly find the font installed for the current user on Windows 10/11, but javafx.scene.text.Font is not yet supported. I checked the source code of OpenJFX and found that PrismFontFactory::getPlatformFontDirs() tried to distinguish between the system font folder and the user font folder. But unfortunately, PrismFontFactory::getFontPath() ( https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/blob/717cfdc85817aee57d5326e592340c849382d7a4/modules/javafx.graphics/src/main/native-font/fontpath.c#L68) doesn't seem to work properly. It always seems to find the same folder on windows. I didn't see the corresponding issue on JBS, and I don't have a JBS account. If you need to open an issue for this problem, please do it for me, thanks.
