That is true if you open it from the control panel and probably if you
open it in Windows Explorer. But if you access it using any other file
manager (like Total Commander and probably the Save as dilogue in any
program) you can put any file there.

I just tried to copy a PDF and a SLA to C:\Windows\Fonts and it worked
perfectly.
