Windows Fonts Using MS-Dos (Command Prompt)?

[rossoneri]

Does anyone know the code for the command prompt so i can access the computers fonts? As the computer im trying to access dosent allow people to use the control panel only CP, thanks

Not quite sure what you mean by "access the fonts" but if you can get a command prompt up, try doing:

cd \WINDOWSDIRECTORY\fonts

where WINDOWS DIRECTORY is the main windows directory usually WINDOWS or WINNT.

Then you can see the fonts that are installed.

Yeh i dont think i explained very well. What i mean is i want to install some fonts onto a computer which has the control panel disabled by the admins so i carnt do it the normal way (control panel-folders-fonts) but im sure there is a different way to do it (through the command line prompt) but i dont know the code to access the font folders

You don't need the control panel or the command prompt to install fonts.

Just open Windows Explorer and navigate to Windows/Fonts

To install a new font click File/Install new font

Your admin has disabled control panel but left you a command prompt. Not a competent admin.

having cp doesn't mean you'll be able to copy files to the system fonts folder.

if the need is legit ... why not get the SA to do it for you

if it's not legit ... 2 options
your SA will rip you a new one (or at least whip you with the cord from his anorak hood)

or - as where I work - it's seen as introducing unauthorised data which may threaten the integrity of the works intranet and could be a sackable (if they want rid .... it's a good excuse).

the most aggravating thing is while the font will print ... it won't be displayed on other work machines the font isn't installed on (unless it's sent as a pdf)
