Help with Fonts

[Mr_M_Cox]

i have a new font that i need to send out to every machine on my domain (Win server 2003) any one know of a simple way of doing this

[Geoff]

Startup script that contains:

 

Copy \\someserver\someshare\somewhere\font.fon %WINDIR%\fonts\font.fon

[Mr_M_Cox]

cheers geoff but doesnt the font then have to be installed rather than just left in the font folder?

It does and the only way I found to do it was to package it as an msi.

 

Either way its a lot of hassel to install one font.

My bad, here's a revised batch file (copying and pasting some of the bits from sysmans script).

 

xcopy \\someserver\someshare\somewhere\font.ttf %WINDIR%\fonts\font.fon /C /I /S /E /H /Y /Q
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" /v "Some Font (TrueType)" /t REG_SZ /d "font.ttf"
