      Starting from build 17704, Windows 10 supports per-user font installation (see https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/06/27/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-17704/#SgtQaWxPhRKl3mHR.97). This installation method actually becomes default, while 'Install for all users' action does it now the old (system-wide) way.
      JRE currently doesn't recognize fonts installed in the new way. In particular, GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts() doesn't list them, and such fonts cannot be used by passing their name to Font constructor.
