Maybe it would, but not necessarily on every version of windowses out there and not for all settings. Most probably it's a special folder with some special permissions. Also, for whichever financial reason you may or may not be able to just copy a font into that folder, it needs to be registered with the windows. Never saw or understood what the registration does, but did see a situation where a font installed by an older app without a proper installer just wouldn't appear on the list for other apps.

So the [fontfolder] entry is probably a placeholder for "whichever location on the target machine holds registered windows fonts" and the installer will take care of registration. IOW, add your font into that section of the installer and let it do the rest. Don't try to determine the actual folder by yourself, you might be wrong (for instance, a dozen years ago the setup for then version of windows would actually let me pick a folder where to install, so I had it on D:\winxp or F:\wxp and such - which was a good way to catch installers which don't care where the system actually is).
