Fonts activated by FontBase are not found by FontCollector

(Windows 11)

The current font enumeration method does not find fonts activated by FontBase; even though they should be detected as system fonts considering every app with a font picker can find them.

Potentially could also be causing issues with other apps that utilize the same method as FontBase to activate their fonts.

I've confirmed with other users that they also experience the same issue. One user have testified that FontCollector successfully finds their FontBase fonts though but we couldn't identify the cause—so there might be a configuration change necessary for it to work.

Could you tell me if this print Found... ?

from find_system_fonts_filename import get_system_fonts_filename

fonts = get_system_fonts_filename()
font_name = "Comixo" # Replace this by the family name you activated

for font in fonts:
    if font_name.lower() in font.lower():
        print(f"Found at {font}")

Thanks for replying.

It doesn't reach the print statement. Works if I replace it with a different font that was manually installed however; not ones from FontBase.

The fonts can be found at the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
