Installing Fonts

Install Fonts from a Server Share using Powershell

Installing fonts in Windows requires two steps (that need to be run as Admin)

1. Copy the font file to %windir%\fonts\
2. Create a REG_SZ at "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts\%fontname% (TrueType)" and set it to %fontfilename%

If I was installing Avenir 55 Roman, I'd do this in LabTech:

1. File Download
   1. Local File: Software\Fonts\AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf
   2. Destination Path: %windir%\Fonts\AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf
2. Registry Set Value
   1. Registry Value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts\AvenirLTStd-Roman (TrueType)
   2. Data: AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf
   3. Data Type: Reg_String
