Is there any way for 2 or more systems on a LAN to share their fonts without filling the font folder with shortcuts?

Thanks

Fonts have to be installed to be useable in windows. You can map your drives, they will appear as a physical drive on the respective machines. When you go to fonts in the control panel select install fonts and browse to the mapped drive and the directory the fonts are in, any fonts that are not installed will show up in the directory. Keep in mind that a bunch of additional fonts can effect windows preformance.

Thanks for the comment, I was more thinking along the lines of actual font sharing as opposed to just installing them on both machines.

Thanks
