I want to install a font with a GPP (to Win7 Pro and XP Pro). I've setup the group policy to copy the .ttf to c:\windows\system32\fonts. On the XP machine, the file get's copied, but the non-admin users can't see it in Word (they can see the font file in Explorer). When I log in as the local admin however, I can see the font in Word. On the Win7 machine, the font file doesn't appear in the fonts folder and isn't visible in Word for non-admin or admin users. What gives or what is the correct way to install fonts with group policy? Thanks.

Can you move this thread to the Group Policy forum or am I better off re-posting? Please note that I do not want to grant users rights to install fonts. I want to install the font from the GPO.
