since my program is supposed to run on the school computers, it has to load the font every time it starts up basically. var ret : int system ("G:",ret) %school drive system ("cd\Fonts",ret) %folder in my drive system ("copy pulserifle.ttf C:\Windows\Fonts",ret) %copy the font and move it to the windows font file. is what i have so far, and i've tried it with copying it first then moving it to the folder but that to has failed. Is there a command to get the computer to install the font just as it does if you manually copy paste it?, any help will be very helpful. |

Use one of microsoft's programs
or whatever the syntax is. Turing isn't want you want to use for these kinds of tasks. |
