Font deployment script

[CapEnd]

Hi All, does anyone know of a way to deploy fonts via the network/script or something?

Would make a job a lot easier for me if there is a way to do this.

Any ideas would be great!

Just create an MSI - I tend to use Win Installer LE which works fine with the Fonts

Yep MSIs work fine or a batch file to copy the font from a network share.

Script to copy from one location to the windows font directory?

As well as the MSI method you can script it using a startup batch file:


Batch file

xcopy \\server\public\dll\lexia___.TTF \%SystemRoot%\fonts\ /y
Regedit.exe /s FontInstall.reg

Reg File

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Autograph (TrueType)"="Autograph.ttf"
"AutographS (TrueType)"="AutographS.ttf"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"lexia___ (TrueType)"="lexia___.TTF"

Depending what font you want installed that is.
