14635 2001-06-26 22:43:00 Hello,
Is there a way to install fonts onto a NT PC via a batch file or something similar. What we are trying to do is distribute a CD with some materials on them that require the fonts to be installed on the recievers PC. I want the user to be able to open the cd and run the required files, and have the fonts installed without too much user input. Is this possible

c:\winnt\fonts, or c:\windows\fonts. All that is needed is for the font to be copied into the font folder and then rebot the pc to load the font..Rember though to many fonts installed can seriously slow the pc down.

You can use a batch file as suggested. If you were to it would look some thing like this..

x:
copy *.ttf c:\windows\fonts

of couse x being you cd-Rom drive. Now in the cause that the fonts we in a folder on the cd-rom then the batch would look something like..

x:
cd\stuff\fonts
copy *.ttf c:\windows\fonts
