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.
