This worklet will add a TTF or OTF font to your Windows font library. Just upload the .ttf or .otf file to the worklet and set $font to the name of the uploaded font file in the evaluation and remediation.

Evaluation:

3 lines
$font = "NAME_OF_FONT.ttf"

If (Test-Path "c:\windows\fonts\$($font)") { Exit 0 } else { Exit 1 }

Remediation:

powershell21 lines
$font = "NAME_OF_FONT.ttf"

    try {
        If (!(Test-Path "c:\windows\fonts\$($font)")) {
            switch (($font -split "\.")[-1]) {
                "TTF" {
                    $fn = "$(($font -split "\.")[0]) (TrueType)"
                    break
                }
                "OTF" {
                    $fn = "$(($font -split "\.")[0]) (OpenType)"
                    break
                }
            }
            Copy-Item $font -Destination "C:\Windows\Fonts\$font" -Force
            New-ItemProperty -Name $fn -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" -PropertyType string -Value $font
        }
    }
    catch {
        write-warning $_.exception.message
    }
