NAME

addfont.bat - Installs and uninstalls fonts in Win95

Synopsis

    addfont *.ttf
    addfont -r *.ttf

Description

A Windows 95 utility which installs fonts in place. That is it installs a font (or uninstalls it) without copying it to your Windows\Fonts directory. This is an essential utility for those who are installing and uninstalling fonts all day and can't be bothered to wait for the Windows\Fonts directory to build itself in your Explorer. Instead you need to be willing for Perl to start up and run - but that is in the background.

Notice that you can use wildcards on the command line, which is useful if you are working with different font sets.

This batch file acts ss an example of getting into the guts of Windows 95 from within a PERL script.

Requirements

This utility requires Win32::API (http://www.divinf.it/dada/perl/api/ or http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Aldo_Calpini/) and Win32::MagicAPI (phil@mcs.vuw.ac.nz, assuming he's still there) which sits on top of it.
