Standard Windows font.

No.

I copied the font files from C:\Windows\Fonts to the current directory,
and used the command

\setmainfont[ExternalLocation,BoldFont={constanb.ttf},ItalicFont={constani.ttf},BoldItalicFont={constanz.ttf}]{constan.ttf}

This worked.

I suspect that, for some reason, XɘTeX has not been properly set up to
find the Windows font directory.  Is there a way for me to check on this?
