1. Re: Script To Install Fonts To Workstations. Install the new font onto a workstation. Make a note of the new fonts registry information. The font will be available after a restart of the PC with no need for an admin logon. To update the script quickly I just created a shortcut to the policy folder and then just copy.
  2. Hi all, I simply cant figure out how to install fonts, to a windows7 desktop with powershell. Windows fonts so the path to the copied files will be c: windows fonts fonts. But is there anyway to get the script to skip fonts if they already exist in the C: Windows Fonts directory?
  3. Put installed fonts on your hard drive. If you are going to install TrueType or OpenType fonts from a CD be sure Copy fonts to folder is checked; otherwise, fonts may not be available to use if the CD is not in the drive at all times. Use the right fonts for Windows. There are slight differences in the TrueType fonts designed for each OS.

I have a folder filled with TTF files of custom fonts. I need to install them as system fonts using a powershell script (this is on Windows Server 2008 R2). Does anybody know how to do that in powershell?Thanks!

It is quite simple. Take a look on the snippet below:

Just wanted to post an alternative which doesn't require 0x14 to be hard coded into the script. Pass the file object to the function, and it will just run the 'Install' based on where the file is:

Using the Shell.Application COM object doesn't work on Server Core (at least not on 2012 R2).

I had success by simply copying the font file to C:WindowsFonts (in this case times.ttf) and then adding the corresponding registry entry with PowerShell:

Removal is the reverse of installation. The only downside is that a restart is required both after the font has been installed and also before it is uninstalled if an application has referenced it.

Shell code has been known to fail on Remote and Build agents - if the comobjects using shell are failing and you are vetting via Remote or Build agents then you will need to use the framework classes to do this (reference)
