Updating the font on 100's of computers
Hello,
I've bee asked to to update all our computers (500) with the new company font and then make it the users default font on Office, has anyone done this before? We use Windows 2003 AD Native and have a mostly Windows XP pro for the desktops.
Thanks

the default font is stored in the normal.dotm template located in %appdata%\microsoft\templates
You can customize on normal.dotm file and copy it via logon script or something else to your users computers.

Deploying fonts is not much more than copying the files in the correct location.
Idem dito for the default settings for Word: you can copy a prefabricated normal.dot into the right location.
I think
this article provides valuable information on how to configure default fonts in Office 2007. However, I am sure specialists in the Office forums will have plenty more of usefull insight for you!
For deploying those files there are several possibilities. You can add a copy to the loginscript or you might want to deploy this using GPO. All is possible :)
An example script to work with fonts on a remote pc is listed
