Add-Fonts

Adds TrueType & OpenType fonts to the Windows registry and "C:\Windows\Fonts" folder location based on a font's metadata properties.

Installation

Requires an administration account to run this code in a powershell terminal; however a seperate .bat file can be created to execute the following code without a Powershell terminal:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File %~dp0file-name.ps1
pause

Note: Ensure both .bat & .ps1 files reside in the same file directory or folder.

Usage

Script can be used in a Endpoint Configuration Manager to batch install a library of fonts in a large enterprise environment that manages many computers or if a domain-joined user needs to install locally downloaded fonts to their computer.

Features

• Limits unnecessary writes to the system registry and "C:\Windows\Fonts" file directory by verifiying installed fonts using Microsoft's "GlyphTypeface" object instead of the font's file name.
• Accepts a "piped" input, such as a "Read-Host" command for user input to enter a file path of a font's location.
• Will automatically search a (user-provided) file directory for the existenance of .otf & .ttf file types to begin the installation process.

Etcetera
