Carcharias Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 How would you include 3rd party fonts into the Unattended install.Can you just copy them to the fonts folder?$$\fonts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLF Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) 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.exehttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...20entry265420I personally copy them over - like you - then open the c:\windows\fonts folder with a simple cmd and then taskkill it. This works too. Edited June 15, 2005 by DLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacd Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) 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 Edited June 17, 2005 by bacd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as-sassin Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You will also need to navigate to this key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]For Type1-fonts it's [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Type 1 Installer\Type 1 Fonts] .I had these problems lately .as-sassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
