Well, in WinXP it's under C:\WINNT\Fonts\ (too obvious?), but if the
problem is that SM is trying to read a file it should refer to a
different program, fixing a putative font issue won't help. As Walter
said earlier, it should be calling TablEdit, not trying to open the
file itself.
After a good deal of experimentation and analyzing I have come to the
conclusion that: indeed SM calls TE which reads the file but it does not
know where the font is to translate the data correctly, thus does the
best it can to display the data it can, using regular font, i. e. the
text in the file. I have copied the TE font to the TE program file(s)
but so far have not found the correct one. The TE fonts are in the
Windows font file so that is not the problem.
Strangely, when I download .tef files from other sites, TE works OK.
This leads me to believe there is something lost in translation to/from the

files. This continues to be a challenging situation and I appreciate
all the help and suggestions from other interested people. Should I ever
find a solution, I will try to remember to post it here.

Not sure if you tried this yet.....
When you click on a saved .tef file in Windows Explorer does your TE
program open the file?
If yes then your TE program is the default Windows .TEF file handler.
If no, you need to set that up via Windows File Manager> Tools> Folder
Options> File Types.
If yes, you may also need to set up a 'Helper Application' definition in SM.
Do that with SM Edit> Preferences> Navigator> Helper Applications. Check
the file list and see if there is an application listed to open a .TEF
file. If not, you will need to define one so SM knows how to handle a
.TEF file and /or which application to use.
Just use one of the existing applications listed for a template.
