Question about FontPackbyMorisawa2017

I purchased PowerDirector 19 Ultra. One of the executable files included is:
FontPackbyMorisawa2017_Morisawa_Morisawa_CDP171003-01R.exe.

I am assuming there are fonts contained in this file. However, before I execute this exe file I would like to know what it does.

Does it just unzip some new fonts? Or does it actually install new fonts into PowerDirector 19? And\or does it install new fonts in Winidows as well? (I'm picky about what fonts I allow programs to install in Windows.)

Also, can someone tell me what fonts are included in this exe file?

Thanks in advance for any help or information.

I gave a quick search suspect that it is a source for Japanese language if it does not work on Windows in another language, I think.

Yes, I had also found that Morisawa is a font consulting firm and a type foundry based in Japan. I was hoping that the font pack distributed with PowerDirector 19 had fonts designed for the English language rather than Japanese. It seems odd that CyberLink would give me a bunch of Japanese fonts. It would be helpful to know if the exe file does before executing it.

You don't need to install this package, PD will use all installed Windows fonts and if you need any specific one you can download it from the web
