Error 1907. Could not register font. Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install font.

Hi,

1. Does it happen with a particular font or it happens with all the fonts?

2. Is this issue confined to only fonts installation?

3. Are you an administrator for this computer?

Run SFC scan. System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.

 Steps to perform sfc scan:

a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.

b. Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.

c. In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:

sfc /scannow

Hi,

I was installing the Bluestack Android emulator, when it gave me this error.

I ran the above command in the prompt and it did give me verification 100% complete, but still not able to install the s/w Bluestack and getting the same error again.

Please advise

Ron-Ray,

Thanks for this explanation and procedure. Worked like a charm for MS Office Pro Plus 2010.

Hi,

I've got the same issue as HoraceGaynor and the sfc scan didn't find anything wrong with my system files.

I find your solution interesting and I'd be glad to try it on my system (Win 7 Pro, 32-bit) and MS Office 2010 SP1. Unfortunately I can't do anything, because:

1. I can't find the mentioned by you ProPsWW* .cabs on my installation DVD.

2. I can't see any .ttf files after decompression of the OWOW64WW.cab.

Could you please comment on this.

Error 1907 occurs when a program is uninstalled and/or another program installed (usually Office 2000, 2010 or 2013) that does not install the ".TTF" files (font files with the .ttf extension). 

The required font files need to be replaced to the "C\Windows\Font" directory (folder) on your hard drive .

The "sfc /scannow" command does not always remedy this. If not, follow the procedure below.

1. Create a temporary folder, [C:\temp] 
2. *Search file OWOW64WW.cab, ProPsWW.cab and ProPsWW2.cab in your Microsoft Office installation source (Office 2010), since this is what causes this error *most of the time. 

*or search for: "owow32ww.cab, proprww.cab and proprww2.cab" in the "proplusr.ww" installation directory of Microsoft Office 2000. 

* (Office 2000 installation: search in the "drive\Windows\Fonts" directory.)

3. Copy all the ".ttf" files there to the "temp" folder you created. 

Find and copy all the font files to your temporary folder. (Extract them all using Winrar or 7-zip, if they are in a cabinet ".cab" file. 

4. "Paste" all the font files in to: 'C:\Windows\Font' folder of your hard drive. (overwrite all). 
5. Re-start your program (Office, etc.) and the installation will complete with no further "Error 1907" warnings.
