@SiMoNsAyS

u r welcome

I am sorry but I must be missin something I can't get the font install program to work right and I am just tryin to install 1 font with it.

Fontinst.exe, fontinst.inf and all fonts should be in the same folder

That is what I was doing wrong I still had my sfx file installing the fonts. I works awesomely thank you very much!!!!!

P.S. I was up half the night with this very problem.

Thank you.

An example fontinst.zip (54,2 KB)

P.S. you can call just fontinst.exe if you name your inf file "fontinst.inf" otherwise you have to call "fontinst.exe /f whatever.inf"

Isn't it necessary to add a line to delete the Fontinst.exe and Fontinst.ini after they do the job?

Thanks!

u can use IExpress Packager or winrar sfx , install Fontinst.exe, and it'll be done; install, delete , ....

P.S.

i've found a tool "installfont.exe" in wpi package, usage:

REM Font installation - the easy way
for /R %%i in ( *.ttf ) do (
 echo Installing font %%~ni.ttf
 copy /Y "%%~fi" "%windir%\Fonts" > nul
 "installfont.exe" "%windir%\Fonts\%%~ni.ttf" > nul
)

Thanks, man! But now I'm not sure about what method I'll use to install my 2.378 extra fonts! I think I'll try work only with command lines, following your good tips!

Can you please explain this alittle further?

You got a file called 'installfont.exe', you put that in a folder with a file called 'fonts.inf' and all your fonts, then you paste that code in the inf file?

thanks

please READ this post if you like this method, then use it.. , if not, forget every thing about 'Fontinst.exe' and 'fonts.inf' and with clear maind READ

this code is "command lines" to be meant for Batch Files ".bat; .cmd"

to use 2nd method

You get a file called 'installfont.exe', you put that in a folder with a 'Batch File' and all your fonts, then you run the 'Batch File'?

Question:

Which types for fonts are supported by the FontInst.exe?
