How can I autoinstall new fonts?

by tommydeca . Updated 16 years, 8 months ago

Hi,

I work in a magazine, and sometimes the editors decide to purchase a new font to use in the production.

Today I manually have to install the font on each and every computer to the Windows – Fonts folder.

What I would like to do is install this font with a script or Config Manager from MS.

Does anyone have a suggestion how I can make a msi package of the new font? Is the best solution to use a clean computer and make a snapshot before and after the new font.

So to sum up my questions:

Installation type:
a) create a msi package, perhaps with the snapshot method or

b) copy the files with a script and with the correct parameters to avoid any user dialogue boxes

and if I choose to create a msi package, any suggestions for program to use for this?
