Why do installed fonts disappear after reboot?

  • 772

At my place of employment we have designers who have to be able to install fonts to complete their work so I have given them write access to %sysroot%\fonts and to %sysroot%\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT through GPO and they can install and use fonts fine but after a restart these fonts disappear. Anyone have any idea why?

Windows 2003 Server running AD as PDC. Windows XP clients.

Thanks!

    When you install fonts information also gets written to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts, so they will also need write access to that key.
