Do you have the driver for the USB installed. Check "Device Settings" which you can get through "System" on the "Control Panel" menu. See if it is enabled.

Each font appears as what looks like a text document in a folder. If you can find it on one machine then put it on disk and put it onto the other. I had to do this once but am currently searching my machine for where it might be as I can't remember
