This is very convenient for mass deployment.$ssfFonts = 0x14$fontSourceFolder = "\\PATH\TO\FONTS"$Shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application$SystemFontsFolder = $Shell.Namespace($ssfFonts)$FontFiles = Get-ChildItem $fontSourceFolder$SystemFontsPath = $SystemFontsFolder.Self.Path$rebootFlag = $falseforeach($FontFile in $FontFiles) { # $FontFile will be copied to this path: $targetPath = Join-Path $SystemFontsPath $FontFile.Name # So, see if target exists... if(Test-Path $targetPath){ # font file with the same name already there. # delete and replace. $rebootFlag = $true Remove-Item $targetPath -Force Copy-Item $FontFile.FullName $targetPath -Force }else{ #install the font. $SystemFontsFolder.CopyHere($FontFile.fullname) }}#Follow-up messageif($rebootFlag){ Write-Host "At least one existing font overwritten. A reboot may be necessary."}
