I am trying to add a font using a deployment. Has anyone had any luck getting that to work?

I have managed to make a deployment package that works. I have tested on windows 7 and 10. You will have to add your font name in and add it to the installer folder but it should work.

I ran into this issue, ended up using a 3rd party app that registers the font.

I am calling a bat file that calls the below command.

pushd "\\10.10.0.200\DefaultPackageShare$\Installers\AllFonts"
FontReg.x86.exe /copy
exit

Using the pushd command and FontReg /copy it will copy any fonts that are in the same directory and install them on the machines & register as necessary. We use this to deploy our standard corporate fonts.

The text file that was uploaded did have one extra line of text in it which prevented it from being imported to Lansweeper after changing the file type to an XML. I've removed the line and zipped the XML which you can import into Lansweeper.

As for installing fonts in bulk, you will have to create a script which does what the commands in the deployment package do but for multiple fonts.

Hi,

I like the idea of installing Fonts using Lansweeper, But I got a question.
- Can it work for more than one font ?
- Can you create the package so we can upload it and all we need to change is font name.
- If you cant do the package please upload a simple documentation how to create package by using the text file that you have.

Thank you

Dropping fonts into Windows\Fonts remotely seems to skip the step that registers the font.

I've not tried this out fully, but making use of FontReg.exe may allow you to remotely install fonts.
