[Request] Font installing

Eiffel · Post by **Eiffel** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 4:19 am

Hi ! Can somebody tell me how can I integrate some fonts ? There is an EU update pack for XP http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... update.EXE

And I want to have them integrated (replacing old Arial and Times New Roman ) and also installing some new fonts I use. I've done something wich copies them in font folders but they are not recognized by windows. Must register them... and I don't know how.

Here's something I whipped up quickly.. no experience with registering files, so this is my best guess (no error messages, atleast)
You can install it directly from the inf, but you'll have to move FontInst.cab to a subdir called "i386" first.
If someone could please try it and let me know if it works..

Edit: Version 1.1 is up.. this should 'register' the fonts in the registry, but I don't see why they'd need to be registered, seeing as Arial and Times New Roman are pretty standard and would be registered already. This thing should work correctly now though...

Damn, misread the first post a bit; my pack contains some redundant information, but it'll show you how to register the fonts you want to add.

@Mitsuko Aninikkou: Cool did not think I could use RegisterDLLs for font Registering...

I been having this problem installing fonts from INF and also From TXT Setup and not having either them registering for a while now, but I hope this works on a real format install and not only on a DefaultInstall

Nice Going

Actually, it doesn't show any error messages.. but I don't think it does anything. For some reason you got the old version 1.0; the new one uses AddReg, which should be correct (though redundant for Arial and Times New Roman, but I'll leave it up for reference)

I will post my addon in 2 hours. Testing now.

Here is mine: "European Union Expansion Font Update" Addon
Tested on a turkish windows xp sp2, and working. No errors about fonts, and they are registered.

Edit: This is just the fonts update. Replaces older ones. All microsoft built.
Maybe Ryan includes this in his next pack.

I talked him on msn, and he said he will include this one in next update pack.
