Install Font in Windows 7 with MDT

I need to install company fonts in windows 7. I use MDT 2010 to install OS and my applications, this works great, but when I try to install fonts (the way I use to do for XP,...objFontsFolder.CopyHere FontName...) it just does not work. The fonts are not installed.
How can I install a font using MDT in Windows 7
Thanks
Daryl

yes create a windows and fonts folder
yes I have done it under post install
It better to store reg file in the deploymentshare because during installation it is not easy to run or access a reg file from a network share.
Chris
I made folder as suggested and copied fonts that I wanted to use with new win7 image but after I re-imaged one of out laptops I cant see that those fonts are actually copied/installed.
Let me explain in steps what I did to avoid any confusion:
1. made folder under deployment share D:\DeploymentShare\$OEM$\$1\Windows\Fonts and added 10 diff fonts
2. added new tasksequence under post install (run command line) and added line regedit /s %SCRIPTROOT%\fonts.reg
3. made fonts.reg and added it to D:\DeploymentShare\Scripts
This is how fonts.reg looks like:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"somefont1 (TrueType)"="somefont1.TTF"
"somefont2 (TrueType)"="somefont2.TTF"
and so on to nr 10...
What am I doing wrong ?

  • What are the installed fonts that come with  Premiere Elements 13

    Anyone Please
    What are the installed fonts that come with Premiere Elements 13
    and If I download the trial and then convert with a purchased, does the trial have all the fonts and themes and add-ons, more that the disk version.
    I have a new Mac, and it does not have a DVD drive, but I can get one need be.
    Thanks

    The Premiere Elements tryout should have all the features of the program. But, remember that Premiere Elements Mac does not necessarily have all the features
    of Premiere Elements Windows.
    Premiere Elements Windows uses Windows fonts.
    Since I am strictly an Elements Windows user, I am not sure of the details of Mac fonts. Not sure if the following will help.
    Mac OS X: Font locations and their purposes - Apple Support
    Fonts on Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Based on the Windows model, I would suspect that Premiere Elements Mac will use the Mac fonts of the Mac system.

  • Java program for installing font on windows

    I want to write a java program that installs required fonts on windows machine. On my machine windows is installed on "C:\WINDOWS" directory.

  • Custom installed fonts and Windows 7

    Hi,
    I've looked everywhere and must not be using the right terms, so I apologize if there's an answer to this (kind of hoping there is a resolution).
    I upgraded to 64bit Windows 7 within the last month or so, and purchased an upgrade to Adobe Design Suite CS5.  Love the suite, but one issue I'm having is using a custom font family we have for our corporate font.  It shows in the list, but when selecting, it goes back to the previous font selected.
    From what I know, this font group is installed via Group Policy, so I'm trying to find out if it's a permissions thing with Windows 7, or something else.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    Regards,
    Jason

  • How to install Adobe Hypatia Fonts in Windows 8?

    I recently downloaded the Acrobat software and am entitled to a free gift after registering the product. I opted for free download of the Adobe Hypatia Font Family.  However, the installation instructions did not include how to install the fonts in Windows 8. Can someone kindly guide me through the process? Many thanks.

  • Can't install a stable Windows 7 on my Snow Leopard mid-2009 Macbook Pro via Botcamp

    I just erased the whole disk with Disk Utility and re-installed a fresh version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro with my original install disk and updated all the software.
    I then created a 400GB partition via Bootcamp Assistant for Windows and successfully installed Vista.
    I then successfully installed Windows 7 (not an upgrade) over Vista (I only have the official upgrade disk) and installed Bootcamp in Windows with the original OS X DVD.
    I then upgraded Bootcamp from version 3.0 to 3.1 to 3.2 to 3.3 and then to 4.0.
    None of these versions have resulted in a stable version of Windows 7 because the screen randomly turns one color (usually blue or white) with no cursor or interaction possible and I have to shut the computer down by holding the power button.
    I've tried the whole process with 32 bit and 64 bit versions with the same results.  The funny thing (not so funny, really) is that WIndows becomes increasingly unstable the higher I go with Bootcamp.  I've even tried running the Vista to Windows 7 upgrade utility but Windows 7 is totally unusable.  Once at Bootcamp 4 the system can't even get past the windows boot process.
    I'm pulling my hair out here because I can't think of anything else to try.  I'm suspecting the problem is driver related.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I suggest you start over with the install of Windows. You can use an Upgrade version of Win 7 to do a Clean install.
    Basically you have to Not put in the license key when asked and also uncheck the option to Auto Activate Windows when the system gets online, mThen once it is installed and you are at the desktop go to the System applet in Control panel and Select Activate Windows. Then put the license key in.
    If for some reason that doesn't work then you do a second install of Windows7 over the top of the current install and that make the installer think you are Upgrading and the Activation will go through.
    It is all covered over at the Windows 7 forum.

  • Installing type 1 font in Windows 7 - AWEFUL customer support

    I purchased and installed Helvetica Bold Oblique font this morning and downloaded it to install on my computer. I have @600 fonts on my machine, so this isn't my first attempt at installing fonts, but it's certainly been the most annoying and it's exposed Adobe customer support as one of the most incompetent I've dealt with in decades. Let me preface this by saying I've had every version of Adobe Creative Suite software and use the products extensively, but this painfully simple issue of installing ONE FONT has got on my last nerve.
    So, when attempting to install the font, it errors and provides the following feedback: The file is a 'PFB' file for a type 1 font and cannot be installed directly. Please install the associated 'PFM' file. I've downloaded the font files twice, and neither includes a 'PFM' file. There's a 'PFB' file and 'AFM' file, but no PFB file. I even tried installing the 'AFM' file, but no luck. After spending over an hour on the phone with a completely computer illiterate foreign support staffer, I'm at the end of my rope. She didn't know the first thing about Windows 7, and starts telling me to look for options that don't even exist in the operating system. I SIMPLY NEED TO INSTALL ONE FONT.
    So, is there anyone that can help make this the simple 5 second operation that it should be? I'll have to ask for some latitude on the anger - I'm just blown away at how stupidly difficult this has become, when it should be as simple as flipping a light switch. Any help is much appreciated.
    System:
    3.2 Xeon Quad core
    2x2 TB drives
    2x1 TB drives
    32 GB RAM
    Nvidia Quadro 5600 display adapter
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Adobe CS4 Master Collection

    I'm sorry to hear about the frustration. I'm not using Windows 7 yet, but it does sound like its font installation process has changed. I did some searching and came up with a free utility to convert the AFM and INF files that come with Type 1 fonts to the PFM file that is needed (along with the actual PFB font file).
    The utility is called AfmToPFM and can be found on this site:  http://www.proximasoftware.com/download.htm (direct link at http://www.proximasoftware.com/afmtopfm/)
    I have never tried it, but I did see a couple of references to it being the solution for installing Type 1 fonts into Windows 7.

  • InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

    hello
    First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
    We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
    THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
    Any solution?

    Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
    This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
    Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.

  • Fonts Not Compatible with Windows 8

    We've had some problems with fonts not working in Windows 8. Are all OTF available via Adobe Type campatible? The files we're having problems with have the extension of .PFB. They are visble via c:Windows/Fonts but do not work in our applications.

    Windows 8 (as well as Windows Vista and Windows 7) should be fully compatible with all Adobe OTF (OpenType) fonts as well as Type 1 fonts.
    Note that Type 1 fonts require two files per font, the .PFB file with the fonts' outlines and the .PFM file with the fonts' metrics. Such fonts are installed by right-clicking the .PFM file and selecting Install. Note that the .PFB file must be in the same directory as the .PFM file for the installation to work.
    Assuming that you have the fonts already installed, they should work with all classic Windows applications. However the Type 1 fonts are not recognized by Windows WPF applications as well as those explicility written for Windows 8's  new so-called modern application interface. Applications such as Visio have not supported Type 1 fonts in years. We also know that a bug in Windows causes Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10 to hang if they call for a font that has the same name as a Type 1 font you have installed.
    Perhaps you provide more information about what fonts you have installed with what applications that don't work or are not recognized?

  • No option to install after right click on HV________.PFB font in Windows 8 64 bit

    I'm trying to install Helvetica on Windows 8.1 64 bit, every forum i read tells me to just right click on the font and hit the install...simple.
    Well when i right click i don't get the option to install, any ideas??

    You either got bum advice or you didn't quite get the instructions correct.
    You need both the .PFB and the .PFM files associated with the font in the directory. You right-click on the .PFM file to install the font which then uses both of the files together for full and proper installation.
    If you don't have both files, you can't install the font. The .PFB file contains the font's outline and hinting information with rudimentary font metrics. The .PFM contains more complete font metrics information necessary for programs that need to format text using the font.

  • Installing PS1 Fonts on Windows 7

    Hello,
    I use a mac at work but a Windows 7 64-bit machine at home. I'm taking some work with me and I'm looking at the font files that I'll need and I see a bunch of PostScript Type 1 files and one .scr file. I was looking up how to install PostScript Type 1 fonts on Windows 7 and read that you need both the .pfm and .pfb files, but I don't see these here. First, what is the .scr file, and second, will I still be able to download these fonts on to my PC?
    Thanks in advance!
    Tom

    Unfortunately, the format for Type 1 files for WIndows is very different from that of MacOS.
    For Windows, the font file itself has the suffix .pfb (PostScript Font Binary) and the extended font metrics file has the suffix .pfm (PostScript Font Metrics). Both must be available for the font to be installed and used under Windows. Typically, the two files would be in the same directory. You right-click the .pfm file and chose the Install font option.
    The MacOS versions of Type 1 fonts cannot be used under Windows. Typically the font foundry that has supplied you with the MacOS version would also have the same fonts in the Windows format.

  • MDT/WDS 2012 - Applying the install.wim file concurrently with the multicast download

    Hi Folks.
    I have a working MDT 2012 setup on Server 2012. Multicasting is all good and my images are deploying smoothly.
    Looking though the "What's New" for WDS 2012 it mentions that "You can apply the install.wim file while it is being downloaded"
    Does anybody have any idea on how to get this working with MDT? I can't find any info about this new feature anywhere.
    PS. Should add that my Windows PE is built from the Windows ADK via MDT and I'm pushing out Win 7.
    Cheers

  • Adobe creative cloud set up to install on a mac with parallels windows 8

    Unfortunately it is not possible to install the program it always displays an error message. how can you loess the problem?
    error message: This application can not be run from a network drive-. copy it to a local folder and strarten it again.

    I have just the regular version, not Professional.
    I mean "les integrated", in the sense that you really run Fusion "in a window". The more "integrated" approach means that Windows applications run as if they were for the Mac, and you do not see the Windows interface at all. I personnaly think tjat is too confusing. There is nothing wrong with it, just a bit more confusing. i like having it clear that Windows is in a seperate Window.
