Does anyone know of a way to install fonts to many pcs? Possibly by way of scripting or some other method... We have a lot of W2K machines and a few 98 machines that require some fonts installing, and it seems ridiculous to walk around doing it in this day and age....

With Windows 2000 you can just copy the fonts to the C:\WINNT\FONTS folder and they are available. You could do this via the login script. Copy the fonts you want to install to a shared drive and then have the script do something like "copy s:\newfonts\*.ttf c:\winnt\fonts". Once the fonts have been copied to the c:\winnt\fonts folder they should be available to the apps. I'm not sure if this is the same for Win98 but I know it works for Windows 2000.
