Install fonts with vbs

Hello. I need to install new fonts on multiple Windows 7 machines. I found a blog that shows how to install one font using a vbs. Since I need to install multiple fonts, I modified the script.

My questions is were my modifications the best approach or is there a better way to do it?

Thank you for any information.
