Engaged Sweeper
Hello,

I've been using lansweeper for about 5 months now and never have had a problem building a deployment package until now. I have over 50 PCs that are missing a few of our company's custom font.

Ive been at this for tht last 5 days trying several different deployments (cmd, installer, etc.) none seem to work. I've tried just copying the .ttf files to c:\windows\fonts & restarting & I've also tried registering the fonts also. Nothing seems to work.

Is there anyway to get this done using Lansweeper, it seems like it should be easy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

When font files are added to Windows\Fonts\ locally on a computer, Windows automatically registers these fonts. When fonts are dropped in a folder using a remote computer, however, this registering does not happen. So your deployment package needs to be adjusted in a way to replicate this registering action. We assume a specific registry key needs to be created as well when the files are moved. We unfortunately don't have information on which specific registry key this is, however. Perhaps running this program as a step after moving the fonts could work.
