Deploying Fonts Filename Issue

Avatar

Hello I followed this guide online: https://www.pdq.com/blog/deploy-fonts-to-your-computers/

Which works great however it should be noted that if the font has a space in the file name it will not install on the remote computer. For example within the directory that has "ADD_Fonts.cmd" I had a font file named "1GDT-SPC Font.ttf" which would not install on the targeted computer until I renamed the font to "1GDT-SPC-Font.ttf"

Perhaps you can modify the script to resolve that or the blog to note this so others who run into this issue are aware.

    If you have spaces in your file names and you don't put the path or file name in quotes then CMD or PowerShell will not handle it as you intend.

    Right but would you specify the filename within this script then?

    I only see: "REM Optional Add source folder as parameter with ending backslash and dont use quotes, spaces are allowed"
