@hamasaki:
On my side:
FontViewOK_p.exe - FontViewOK.ini in the program's folder
FontViewOK.exe - FontViewOK.ini in APPDATA
Something wrong on your side

I haven`t renamed anything.

@hamasaki:
Do not rename FontViewOK_p.exe
v5.05
Looks like it`s not stealth by default. You need to move the 'AppData/Roaming/FontViewOK/FontViewOK.ini' file to the application folder.
v5.05
...the ini file is already present in the app folder (I use the app now for 3 years). The tools from SoftwareOK at times are really slick and thin, but occasionally... this one seems really buggy (see my comment about font-compatibility)
v4.77
@zorro: Tried moving the ini file to the app folder? At least that's what has to be done with some other SoftwareOK apps.
v4.77
The last version writes to "Appdata\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\FontViewOk.ini"

Unfortunately FontViewOK is totally unreliable - I work a lot with different (commercial & free) fonts and the program has severe problems with most commercial open-type-fonts. Actually I have 586 fonts installed - NexusFont shows all and only struggles on some broken ones (showing the phrase in Arial) whereas FontViewOK shows only 142 - "Helvetica Neue" for example doesn't show up at all although I have the whole family (51) installed. Not really useful.
v4.77
Above stubborn "preset window size" bug (feature?) still crawling as of v3.75

I don`t think so. I download the zip, run FontViewOK_x64_p.exe (from a folder called FontViewOK) and the data gets stored in the AppData folder initially. No big deal, once I moved the ini file it`s been fine.
