Install Fonts

Hi Everyone,

Could you please advise how I can install fonts via a script? I have a
folder full of fonts that I want to install on each computer via AD.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
D

Don't use a script, use an msi file.

If I am not mistaken you simply copy them to the fonts folder in the
Windows directory:

FSO.CopyFile("\\yourserver\share\font.ttf", "%windir%\fonts\font.ttf")

Do I need to register the font?
