How to install True Type Font?

[Harlay_zhou]

In windows, i can just copy and paste my ttf font to windows\fonts folder.

but in command line, it doesn't work if i do "copy myfont.ttf $windir$\fonts".

so, i think if i put my font in $OEM$\$$\Fonts, then it doesn't work too?!

how can i do?

its not $windir$ its %windir%

& it should work, cuz i copy mine during T-12 & they get installed ok

[Harlay_zhou]

thinks for your replay.

"$windir$" is my clerical error.

how do u do?

what's T-12?

[MCT]

T-12 if uve actually read the guide is calling if from cmdlines.txt

[prathapml]

if i put my font in $OEM$\$$\Fonts

That's what you should do. It will work properly.

i was waiting for some1 to ask it. well i'm not a really big fan of $oem$ folders (i personally only locate 1 .cmd file there to start all the process).

i pack all my fonts on a rar-sfx (like most of my programs) and i extract it during cmdlines.txt. at the end of the process, fonts aren't correctly installed meaning i need to go to fonts folder or open word to register them question is: why?

This is the point.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Roman (All res)"="ROMAN.FON"
"Script (All res)"="SCRIPT.FON"
"Modern (All res)"="MODERN.FON"
"Small Fonts (VGA res)"="SMALLE.FON"
"Arial (TrueType)"="ARIAL.TTF"
"Arial Bold (TrueType)"="ARIALBD.TTF"
"Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)"="ARIALBI.TTF"
"Arial Italic (TrueType)"="ARIALI.TTF"
"Courier New (TrueType)"="COUR.TTF"
"Courier New Bold (TrueType)"="COURBD.TTF"
"Courier New Bold Italic (TrueType)"="COURBI.TTF"
"Courier New Italic (TrueType)"="COURI.TTF"
"Lucida Console (TrueType)"="LUCON.TTF"
"Lucida Sans Unicode (TrueType)"="L_10646.TTF"
"Times New Roman (TrueType)"="TIMES.TTF"
"Times New Roman Bold (TrueType)"="TIMESBD.TTF"
"Times New Roman Bold Italic (TrueType)"="TIMESBI.TTF"
"Times New Roman Italic (TrueType)"="TIMESI.TTF"
"WingDings (TrueType)"="WINGDING.TTF"

I have add the register myself, but it desn't work yet.

I don't know what i miss.

easy: select all your fonts, rightclick and select winrar>add to new archive. check "create sfx archive" and "make solid archive", then use this comment

and where do i have to put SFX

all that

[RyanVM]

The best way to register the fonts IMO is to open the c:\windows\fonts folder then kill it after a like 10 second delay with a program like pskill.

That goes in the SFX comment area, it tells the SFX archieve what to do upon being launched.

You put the newly made archieve in any folder you wish, and call it from RunonceEx like any other program with the /S switch.

interesting, nice tip

@TeT_TaT, that part of the comment is in spanish bc it was created with the spanish winrar, but doesn't matter, parts of the comments starting with ";" won't be used. as an example you could use:

;TeT_TaT Fonts Setup File
Path=%WINDIR%\Fonts
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

[Mekrel]

just a thought, isnt it %WINDIR%Fonts without the \, because I remember seeing .theme files and they never have the back slash after the %WINDIR% variable, when they link to a wallpaper.
