However, I cannot find "Frederika2016.otf" in C:/Windows/fonts (even as System Administrator), and do not know how to interpret "D^^A/Windows/fonts/Frederika2016.otf".
A thought :  I wonder if C:/Windows/fonts is unwriteable to normal users, and therefore Windows UAC has created a hidden directory which it covertly maps to C:/Windows/Fonts ...
