Copying Fonts

I have a fonts folder on the Deployment server and I have sent the job to several computers in the domain. The users are not able to see the fonts I installed but if I log on to the computer or UNC in I can see the fonts.

I thought it might have something to do with permissions but I have given the users full rights to the fonts folder with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks....

In my experience, copied fonts are available after a reboot...

Try the following mate. You only need to change the UNC path and the font names.

some fonts need to be installed, and cannot be simply copied over. Maybe thats what it is.

=======================================
'vbscript
Const FONTS = &H14&
fontpath = "\\SomeServer\express\packages\Fonts\fontxyz"
arrFonts = ARRAY(_
"Font1.otf", _
"Font2.otf", _
"Font3.otf" )
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(FONTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
sDestinationPath = objFolderItem.path
Set objFileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.fileSystemObject")
For i=0 to UBound(arrFonts)
strSourceFile = fontpath & "\" & arrFonts(i)
strDestinationFile = sDestinationPath & "\" & arrFonts(i)
If NOT objFileSystem.FileExists(strDestinationFile) _
Then objFolder.CopyHere strSourceFile

Next
wscript.quit
