Following the advice by iglvzx in https://superuser.com/questions/118025/using-custom-fonts-without-admini... , I created a directory PortableApps/PortableApps.com/Data/Fonts and copied my ttf and otf files to this directory. Then I started PortableApps. Still, the fonts are not visible in the system.
Did I miss something?

The fonts are added via Windows API at platform startup and removed at exit. The platform will also broadcast a message to all running apps that the fonts have changed but not all apps properly respond to it. So, it's best to start the platform then start any apps you'd like to use that aren't portable to ensure they can see them. Note that even then, some apps will not see API-added fonts. This is a limitation of those apps.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
