Zurich/TTF Font Install

[Xpacmatt5]

Good Morning,
I am using Windows 10 20H2 deploying to Windows 10 v1909.
Followed the directions posted to:
https://batchpatch.com/remotely-install-opentype-otf-or-truetype-ttf-fonts

I am installing multiple Zurich truetype fonts onto a remote machine. I created the .cmd file with the necessary changes to each font name. Upon deployment I receive Exit Code: 0 Success.
I then rebooted the machine as directed. After machine comes back I locally checked the C:\Windows\Fonts folder and the fonts are not listed. I locally checked the registry location and the fonts ARE listed there. I locally checked the control panel and Microsoft Word and the fonts are not listed there either.
However when I remotely check the C:\Windows\Fonts folder via \\computername\c$\Windows\Fonts from my machine to the users machine, the fonts ARE showing listed in this area. So weird. It seems as if the fonts are not actually being installed by the method provided from that link above…Any ideas?

Thank you

If you check \\targetcomputer\C$\Windows\Fonts and you don’t see the same thing as when you go directly to the targetcomputer and look in C:\Windows\Fonts, then it sounds like you might have some kind of DNS or naming issue where you are actually looking at two different computers, not the same one. I can’t think of any other explanation.

I wish that was the case. Easy fix. But it’s not. All other commands/deployments work successfully. I even changed the script from %SystemRoot%\Fonts” to “C:\Windows\Fonts” and it still doesn’t copy. I’ll just manually copy to directory and use the script to add reg key. Thanks

Just a heads up I made a job queue that installs said font via powershell deployment. The above method deff does not work in windows 10 above build 1809. 1909 or 20h2. I can share the script if anybody needs…

Thanks. We weren’t aware that anything had changed in 1809, so thanks for letting us know. What is your powershell deployment method? What is it doing differently?

Hey Doug,
I am not sure exactly what it is doing differently but I will post the script tom when I go to work…it is a long script fyi

[doug]

Thanks.
