NAME

addfont.bat - Installs and uninstalls fonts in Windows

addfont -f *.ttf

addfont -h

DESCRIPTION

A Windows utility that installs fonts in place. That is it installs (or uninstalls) fonts without copying them to your Windows\Fonts directory. This is an essential utility for those who are installing and uninstalling fonts all day and can't be bothered to wait for the Windows\Fonts directory to build itself in your Explorer. Instead you need to be willing for Perl to start up and run - but that is in the background.

Notice that you can use wildcards on the command line, which is useful if you are working with different font sets.

Some versions of Windows (e.g., Windows 7) require adminstrator rights.

OPTIONS

-r      uninstall (remove) named fonts
-f      install fonts, removing first if already installed.

If the named fonts are already installed, addfont does not remove and re-install unless -f is supplied.
