Hope someone can help here , we run a windows 2000 server network and we
need to install a couple of our own fonts into each client machine (a mix of
2000 and XP) they all log on to the domain and there is a netlogon script
that maps drives. How can i install these fonts to each client machine
bearing in mind some are XP and some are 2000.

Please help

Jay,

You can copy them directly into the map "fonts" in your windows directory

Yes but with 100's of clients i wanted a fast solution. A simple copy
command would work but the fonts directory is in c:\windows\fonts on the XP
machines and c:\windows\winnt on the 2000 ones.
 
Jay,

It's posible to do it with a "group policy" but I don't know how to
configure one.

Jay,

If you use a company wide logonscript you can also try the folowing:
Create a batch file something like:

set Dir=Winnt
if not exist C:\%Dir%\fonts\* set Dir=windows
if not exist C:\%Dir%\fonts\* set Dir=Unknown

XCOPY from \\<machine>\<Pad>\<file>.ttf to C:\%Dir%\fonts
<repeat this for each font>

Add a line to your script somthing like:
call \\<machine>\<Pad>\<file>.bat
Use the batchfile you just made.

Regarts,
R. Jongman
