A program that one of our clients uses (which runs off the
server) requires a custom font to be installed to the wks
font folder and registered. We have many machines in the
field so we want to do this via .cmd script which, among other things upon logon, will copy the font from the server to the wks font folder.
The problem is, XP does not register the font when it is
copied to the font folder from a command line (and you can't use regsvr32). The font only becomes registered when the font folder is actually opened in windows (or dragged into the font folder).
Additionally, manually entering the registry information
(via .reg file) in the Winnt|Current|version|Font key does
not work either. Does anyone know how I might get the font file to register from the command line? Thanks.
