How would you include 3rd party fonts into the Unattended install.

Can you just copy them to the fonts folder?

$$\fonts

Can you just copy them to the fonts folder?

You can do, but they need registering as well or windows won't see them.

One solution is Fontinst.exe

I personally copy them over - like you - then open the c:\windows\fonts folder with a simple cmd and then taskkill it. This works too.

What I do is quite simple...

If all the fonts I will be reloading are already installed on a machine, I compress them all in to a WinRAR SFX and run it from either [GUIRunOnce] (if you do this make sure it is compressed with the DOS.SFX and not the default one) or when my UA programs (Office, Nero, etc.) starts.

You will also need to navigate to this key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

and make a .reg file of its contents (of course do this before you redo your machine) and then just import the reg with commands.txt and/or during the cleanup.cmd after everythign else has installed..

the only downside to this, is if you add fonts regularly you must update the sfx package as well as the reg file you will be using...

The reason I make an SFX is that it takes less room and less time to copy over

FFS this question gets asked daily. Use the **** search facility next time.

For Type1-fonts it's [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Type 1 Installer\Type 1 Fonts] .

I had these problems lately .

very constructive

why bother posting in the first place?

geezus simplest answer copy them over "XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Fonts"

then just open the Fonts folder afterwards with a reg.

Print #ff, "REM REGISTER FONTS"

Print #ff, "REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce /V RegisterFonts /D " & Chr(34) & "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,%systemroot%\Fonts" & Chr(34)

I do that in Cleanup.cmd
