Install fonts FOR ALL USERS

Post by *franziscko »

Hi!!
Using the command cm_OpenFonts in a button in the button bar
TC can install fonts. It's ok but.... fonts are installed
for the current user!
If you go to - c:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\
you can fid the fonts....

so...is it possible to install them "for all users" in C:\Windows\Fonts?

Thank you for this GREAT program!!!

Instead of copying fonts into the cm_OpenFonts virtual folder, you might want to try selecting the font files, right-clicking (or pressing the "context menu" key) and selecting "Install" from the context menu.

Careful when installing fonts via the context menu's "Install" item! Since Windows 1803 this installs the font for the current user only. There's a new context menu item labeled "Install for all users" to install fonts like in previous Windows releases. See this blog article, section "Font installation for non-admin users".
