Hi rajat,
How about this code

(setq file "C:/Program Files/AutoCAD 2005/Fonts")
(getfiled "Select a font file" file "" 0)

I think the OP is wanting to find out where AutoCAD is looking for fonts.

Your code only looks in a particular directory which may or may not exist.

No, there is not a variable. AutoCAD will search all the paths in the support file search path for SHX fonts. You will have to query each of these paths.

The following code will return the support file search paths (as a semicolon separated string)

(vl-load-com)
(vla-get-SupportPath
  (vla-get-files
    (vla-get-preferences
      (vlax-get-acad-object)
    )
  )
)

But I need windows default ".TTF" font file location.

Ok. You didn't say that in your original post.

This should work.

Environ("systemroot") & "\Fonts"
