In the help it says:

To add a new font to your computer

1) Open Fonts in Control Panel.
2) On the File menu, click Install New Font.

No such menu option is shown.

Ideas?

Nice to know that it works for you, although it doesn't help me. As
outlined in my OP the same procedure doesn't work here.

Check that your fonts folder has the system and read-only attributes
set.

Setting the folder to "read only" fixed it (folders can't be set to
"system"), very strange behaviour imo.

Many thanks.
