Why can't I view all my fonts

So on the admin account on this computer I got a shitload of good design fonts off Dafont, but now I can't use them on the account I mainly use for my art. When I go to the admin they're in C:/Windows/Fonts, but on the other account they're nowhere to be found. Any idea how to use them on this account?

    Are all of the fonts compatible with the software you are trying to use them with? Unfortunately, the file formats are not necessarily universal.

    I'm not sure, but the files literally don't show up in C:Windows/Fonts if I'm on the non-admin account

    Make sure you have 'show hidden file types' on the non-admin account set correctly.

    This worked.
    Thanks!
