The fonts that are currently installed are displayed in bold.

Each group corresponds to one folder on your local disk. To change the parent folder of all group folders choose Tools/Options menu command and browse for any desired folder on you local drive. Save the path to folder in the Folder with font groups: edit box. Usually it is the folder on your disk where you keep subfolders with your font files.
