If FFI is present, then FreeTypeFontProvider gets the windows font folder path 
with an API call.
see FreeTypeFontProvider>>getWindowsFontFolderPath
 
If FFI is not present, then FreeTypeFontProvider>>guessWindowsFontFolderPath is 
executed, which attempts to guess the fonts folder location.
To do this it checks to see if c:\windows\fonts, d:\windows\fonts, 
e:\windows\fonts, etc. exist.
 
Now, here is the curious thing...
 
On my Vista computer, the D: drive is a DVD drive.
If I boot Vista with no disk in D: and evaluate the following in a workspace...
 
    (FileDirectory on: 'd:\windows\fonts') existsthen it answers false without 
prompting me to insert a disk.
 
But, if I put a disk in the D: drive, look at its contents in Windows Explorer, 
then remove the disk and close the drive door; and evaluate the same 
expression... Now Windows prompts me to insert a disk into D:.
If I cancel the Windows prompt, then the expression again answers false.
 
Cheers,
Andy
