Answer

Does your program allow you to include fonts within all subfolders for a selected folder?

See the steps how to add fonts within a folder and all subfolders.

I just have purchased and received the CD. I install the the program, however the program states that its "trail basis"?

It is required to activate your registration key.

I just upgraded to the latest build and my registration key is not working. The application tells me I'm running an unregistered version. Is a new registration key required for this latest build?

Usually a new registration key is not required. In the case you have completely uninstalled the program from your computer and then have installed the latest build, it is required to activate your registration key again. According to our company rules, you upgrade always for free to the same major version of the program (e.g. from version 6.0 Release 1 to version 6.0 Release 2 etc.). Usually we issue several releases per year.

I had to redo my computer and now every time I start FontExpert it says it is a evaluation copy. How do I put
my registration key in so that I can use this?

It is required to activate your registration key again on this computer.

What is the difference between Uninstall and Unload commands?

Uninstall command removes a font permanently. This font will not be available for applications after the restart of Windows. Unload command unloads a font, but it remains installed and Windows will load it after the restart.

I see two similar buttons in Dr. Fontson's dialogs: Uninstall and Remove from Registry. What is the difference?

Remove from Registry means: Remove a record about this font from system Registry, but do not touch a font file. Uninstall means: Remove a record about this font from system Registry and make sure the font file is removed from a Windows\Fonts folder. Make a backup copy of the font file if needed.

The default place for Windows fonts is Fonts subfolder of Windows folder.

If you remove a font from registry, but leave it's file in Windows\Fonts folder then Windows can automatically install this font again when you restart Windows.

If some font is physically located in a folder other than Fonts folder, then Uninstall and Remove from Registry operations are equal (because there is no need to touch font file).

When FontExpert uninstalls some font that is located in standard Fonts folder, it removes font file and always makes a backup copy of this font (you can choose a backup folder in Tools\Options... dialog).
