Font tools

Hi anyone know a program or tool where you can "roll out" new fonts to many W2K desktops (not only copy paste font but also install font into the system)

Yikes!!!

I meant "Hi, jakkim"

Sooorrryyyyyy
That's why I suggested to use the FontInst utility. It doesn't have an UI, it just loads the fonts into Windows. It's not available any more on the MS site, but you can download it here:

http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts/trebuchet_ms.html

Download the trebuchet.exe pack and Unzip (do NOT execute the .exe). You'lll find the font files and the FontInst utility as well as the FontInst.inf file.

So, all you need to to is to create an archive with all the fonts you want to install, update fontinst.inf, add it and fontinst.exe to the archive. Copy the archive to a temp dir on the target machine, extract it, and run fontinst.

Arooga!
