Install a font

[robjduk]

Anyone got a good way to install a font over group policy?

 

Seen people use MSI and powershell but really tired today and just want the quickest way to mass deploy this thing. Any suggestions?

This works for me:

 

Install the font manually on any machine

Run regedit and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Export the key to a reg file, but chop out all the other bits not relating to the font you just installed

Write a startup script to:

1) Copy the font to the c:\windows\fonts folder

2) Merge the registry key you exported

 

Each machine will require a reboot after the script runs before the font will show up.

Was just finding a server I had the script on to remind myself, beat me to it!
