How can I install a truetype-font via the logon-script ?

You will need to first copy, and then open the file to register it properly.
You can add a section like this to a standard logon script:
if exist %systemroot%\fonts\font.ttf goto SkipFontCopy
xcopy \\server\share\font.ttf %systemroot%\fonts
start "%systemroot%\font\font.ttf"
:SkipFontCopy
This will use the system variable "SystemRoot" to determine the correct path (just in case it's not "C:\winnt"
.
The only annoying part is that it opens the font up in the middle of the screen. This will, however, verify that it is in properly.
Cheers,
Sam
