How To Transfer Fonts from one PC to another PC

Hi,

I have just bought a new Dell PC and would like to transfer all the
fonts of my old Gateway PC onto this one. I tried to use the Crossover
Cable to connect both computers in order to transfer the fonts, but
the process took forever (by using Windows XP File & Transfer Wizard)
and after three hours, the Wizard still trying to connect both PCs, so
I gave up.

And there seems no way I can copy the Font folder (from Control Panel)
onto a disk or external HD. So what should I do?

Another question: My Gateway PC used to have Windows 98 installed,
then I upgraded it to Windows XP. For some unknown reason, there are
many fonts in this PC that I do not know where did they come from.
When I installed my fonts into my new Dell PC, I installed all the
font folders that I can find (from Windows XP, HP drivers and
Microsoft Office disks), but still I could not get all the fonts I
have in Gateway! Does Windows 98 comes with its own fonts that I
could not get from Windows XP?

Any assistance/comments is much appreciated. I really don't want to
spend hundreds of dollars to buy the missing fonts for my Dell PC.

Thank you.
