Nov 25, 2018 Can no longer install fonts via script in Windows 10 1809. I discovered that in 1809 there is a new option that allows users to install fonts.

A while back the topic of scripting the installation and removal of fonts came up in an internal discussion. It reminded me that someone had once shared with me Visual Basic 6 utilities for doing just that. So I decided to see if I could transform these into working Windows PowerShell scripts in the same way that I had rewritten my utility to set the time zone. Like my time zone utility, these utilities used Windows APIs to install and remove fonts. Specifically they used AddFontResource and RemoveFontResource (plus PostMessage to notify running applications of the change).
