Installing Fonts Windows 7 Script

Active3 years, 8 months ago

This is somewhat related to my previous question, Why do installed fonts disappear after reboot?.

I had to add another piece to the script for powershell to add a registry entry for the new font being added after the file is copied over, otherwise Windows doesn't appear to actually see the new font that was copied over.

1. Set objShell = CreateObject('Shell.Application') Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace('C: Windows Font') Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName('Myriad Pro.ttf') objFolderItem.InvokeVerb('Install') Yet another alternative is to install fonts 'temporary', just for current user session.
2. However, installing fonts in Windows 7 can be as easy as drag and drop. In this guide, you will see two different ways to install new fonts in Windows 7. But before you get started, remember to.

Having got the font install issue sorted out under XP just fine, recently we've got a Windows 7 workstation and I've created a special GPO for it. Initially it was UAC that was demanding administrative access to C:windowsfonts despite the fact the policy dictates that directory is writable (as is the relevant registry entries, on XP anyway). The issue now though is that when I try to copy a font or hit install it claims that the font 'does not appear to be a valid font'. This happens with every type of font as well.

Is there some new and special consideration when allowing these changes on Windows 7?

Any input would be appreciated.

So I figured it out.

Having looked at the Resultant Set Of Policy and seeing nothing untoward there, I checked C:windowssecuritylogswinlogon.txt

The Windows 7 client GPO is a copy of the standard XP one that I created, and therefore had entries in it to allow domain users to edit the content of C:windowsfonts.

However, Windows 7 shows this in winlogon.txt:

----Configure File Security..

Configure c:windowsfonts.

Warning 5: Access is denied.

Error setting security on c:windowsfonts.

I checked the GPO and removed the settings for this directory and re-added it, which upon a GPO update and restart gave me this:

----Configure File Security..

File Security configuration was completed successfully.

I tried adding a font and voila! Worked as intended.

Hope this helps anyone else who may come across the same issue. No idea why re-adding the same security setting made it work but it did.

Well I can only suggest you have the UAC turned off because I have taken ownership and set the Windows 7 font directory and registry key permissions to allow users change access but the UAC keeps prompting for administrator credentials.

This error occurs because the file attribute System is checked. Checked directorys at System cannot have their permissions changed. In my case I try these following command:

To correct these error below:

Windows includes a great selection of fonts, but sometimes you need something that lies outside the standard assortment. Font choice is an important finishing touch for presentations, correspondence, and personal projects. With tens of thousands of free fonts available, you have no reason to settle on one that isn’t quite right. Because adding and removing fonts in Windows is straightforward, exploring new fonts in order to find the perfect fit is certainly worthwhile.

Finding Fonts

A Web search for fonts will yield plenty of sites where you can preview and download fonts at no cost. Avoid sites that bombard you with pop-ups or that ask you to install other software before downloading fonts; many low-hassle alternatives are available. Feel free to explore on your own. For this article, we’ll demonstrate how the procedure works with the free fonts available in PCWorld's Downloads library.

1. Go to the Downloads library's fonts page. You can search for fonts by name, see collections that PCWorld editors have assembled, and check out the latest additions to our fonts collection from there.

2. Find a font you’d like to try. You can preview the font by clicking the font name.

How To Install Fonts Windows 8

3. Once you’ve found an attractive font, click Download Now.

4. Save the .zip file to your PC.

5. Unzip the folder. The font files (which will typically be in the .ttf, .otf, or .fon format) will appear.

Downloading free fonts from other websites typically works in a similar fashion.

Installing Fonts

Once you've found the perfect font, the hard work is done. In Windows 7 and Vista, adding a new font is very easy.

1. Right-click the unzipped font file.

2. Click Install.

Windows will take care of the rest. The font will now be available for use in programs such as Word.

Uninstalling Fonts

Sometimes a font isn’t as great as you thought it would be, or you’d like to clear out some fonts that have outlived their purpose. If you followed the installation procedure above, all of your fonts will be in the Fonts folder. Here’s how to open the Fonts folder and delete a font.

1. To open the Fonts folder in Windows 7, open the Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization, and then select Preview, delete, or show and hide fonts. To open the Fonts folder in Windows Vista, open Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization, and choose Install or remove a font.

2. Right-click the font you want to remove, and click Delete.

Tips for Windows fonts

Fonts In Windows 7

In the Fonts folder, you can preview the fonts you have installed; just double-click a font’s icon.

If you download a font to use in a certain program and you have that application open during the font installation, the program might not register the font right away. If this happens, restart the application.

Don’t save multiple fonts under the same name.

Don’t hoard fonts. If you start to accumulate hundreds of fonts, your system will slow down significantly.
