Hi,
We're having issues deploying additional fonts to desktops running Windows 10 Enterprise (1511).
We've tried the following, all of which have failed:
- Using group policy to put the files in the "c:\windows\fonts" directory
-
Using group policy to put the necessary entries into the Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
-
Used a .VBS script to install them - also fails
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("\\XXX.local\netlogon\fonts")
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("Alabama.ttf")
objFolderItem.InvokeVerb("Install") -
Also tried a PowerShell script (see https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/deploymentguys/2010/12/04/adding-and-removing-fonts-with-windows-powershell/)
- Used the new Group Policy Setting - Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Mitigation Options > Untrusted Font Blocking ("Enabled" - "Do not block untrusted fonts")
We're now at the stage of having to install the fonts manually on each PC.
But when we're install them manually, we get a warning to say the fonts have already been installed (done by the scripts), but then these are not showing up in the font list.
Once we install them manually on each PC, they do show up.
Any one else encountering similar difficulties - or maybe you have a solution?
Thanks,
Walt.
