How can we silent install fonts ?

thanx

Redman

I would imagine just make the directory on you unnatended cd $OEM$\$$\Fonts

Put them there, and they should be copied over during installation. If someone else could clarify this, as I have not tried it myself.

yes, i extract fonts during T-12 & everything works

The same solution...

wait, a reg tweak is not needed in addition?

i copy them to system32, AND apply this regtweak:

;Install 4 Custom Fonts
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Linkin Park 1.0 (TrueType)"="LinkinPark.ttf"
"WilhelmKlingsporGotisch (TrueType)"="WILHLMK.TTF"
"A.M.P. (TrueType)"="amp.TTF"
"Astigma Regular (TrueType)"="a**.TTF"

ive had no need for a reg tweak

so simply putting (or extracting via SFX archive after installation is totally finished) to Windows\Fonts will work?

can ppl confirm this in real-world tests?

You need to copy over the fonts to the fonts directory and as mentioned run the regtweak from cmdlines.txt to register your font.

I use a different method which was discussed long ago

]To simply register just open the folder if you don't mind using that method.

In cleanup.cmd

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce /V RegisterFonts /D "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,%systemroot%\Fonts"

All that does is open the folder and you just close it. Can use a Kill on it if you want.

Saves all that yada yada yada ttf

I have put all my new fonts in $$\Fonts and run the thing mentioned by maxXPsoft.

It works kike a charm!

PS: Only using $$\Fonts didn't work for me dudes ...

yes, i extract fonts during T-12 & everything works

MCT can u pls give more details?

Are you using winrar sfx?

with it extracting to

%systemroot%\Fonts\

only rar-sfx fonts to the fonts folder don't work for me. i use to open the fonts folder and after a few seconds kill the process

ps: alt. you can open word to register fonts

I have my fonts in a winrar sfx silent extract directly to %windir%\fonts from RunOnceEx.cmd and they install with no problem. What's so hard about that?

Edit: never mind. seems my apps can't see the new fonts. DOH!

hhehehe MCT and Simonsays are both senior member they know what they are talking about.

hey, sorry, ive been @ work, havent had a chance 2 reply

but yes, all i do is use a winrar SFX & install it & T-12 extracting to %Windir%\Fonts i only install 2 fonts & both are recognised by all my programs
