Easy access to Fonts folder

[Guest]

I want an easy way to copy fonts to the font folder via code. Is there an easy way to get the path to the local systems font folder? And/or other system folders?

And/or other system folders?

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(). Unfortunately there's no support
for getting the Fonts folder there though.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, the font folder is <Windows
Folder>\Fonts. In addition, the font folder is also stored in registry at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders
"Fonts" = specify the font folder

You can use .NET registry related classes to get this registry value:

RegistryKey Class

frlrfmicrosoftwin32registrykeyclasstopic.asp

Hope this helps.

AFAIK on *all* versions of Windows the Fonts folder is under %WINDIR%.

Was using registry stuff for something else. So, this worked for me. Just get the value in a string, and use that as my path when I copy. Schweet, thanks.
