how install fonts with Unattended XP

thanks

[Mr.J!M]

In your CD create a folder

$OEM$\$$\Fonts\YOURFONT.TTF

this will copy all your fonts into %WINDIR%\Fonts\

[Alanoll]

that's not all you have to do...

You either have to find a way to open the FOnts folder and close it, or you have to import some registry entries when copying. Otherwise Windows won't know there are fonts.

Along with placing the font in the Fonts directory, you have to add your font here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Font Name"="Font file"

I think you can even add fonts that reside some place other than the fonts directory if you give a full path to the file.

so for "font file" do I put the name of the font or the name of the ttf file?

[benners]

For font file put the name of the font i.e

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)"="ARIALBI.TTF"

nolookingca told you what to do! Add those reg entries and it will work. (use cmdlines.txt)
