In this post we will see steps on how to deploy fonts using Configuration Manager 2012 R2. If you have been tasked with deploying fonts using
SCCM this post should help you. A font is a set of printable or displayable text characters in a specific style and size. One of the most popular
outline font software programs on today’s computers
is
TrueType
fonts. TrueType fonts come with both Windows and Macintosh operating
systems. Normally if you want to install a font the easiest way is to double-click on a font file to open the font preview and select ‘Install‘. But if
you want to deploy the same font on multiple computers, we have to make use of script that does the job. When you deploy a script (SCCM
Package) to install the font, the user that is logged on to the computer will not be able to use or see these new fonts until they log out and log in
back. If you run this script on a standalone computer the fonts are installed and can be seen used by users. The strange thing is when SCCM deploys
the same package and runs the same script the fonts gets installed correctly but they appear to be missing. After a log off and login the fonts can be
seen.
As mentioned earlier we will use a script to deploy font. You can download the script by clicking on the below button.
