On windows fonts in the system font folder are found by kpse -- with miktex and with texlive2012: Miktex: G:\Temp>kpsewhich arial.ttf C:/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf TeXLive2012: G:\Temp>kpsewhich arial.ttf c:/Windows/fonts/arial.ttf So "file:" works fine for this fonts too. With Miktex some other locations like e.g. the font folder of the Adobe Reader works too. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
