That is really strange because The Font Thing can Uninstall a font but
still keep the font file in the Fonts directory.

Maybe it is that Windows Explorer is "intelligent" and installs the
font when you copy it to the Fonts directory? I never use Windows
Explorer but Total Commander and I have never had any success by just
copying a font file to the Fonts directory. But maybe it requires a
Windows restart before it shows up? (Becuase I can't imagine Windows
will scan the Fonts directory all the time?)
