Hi!

The subject says all about it: How may I install new fonts from a login-script? (Copying to fonts folder doesn't work!)

Simple answer: You can't.

See the FONTS directory for it's associated NTFS ACLs for the reason why.

Fonts should be installed trough an admin script that copies the fonts from a central location to all remote computers through admin shares. Examples how to achieve this have been posted numerous times.
Code:

; prototype
$comps='aaa','bbb'
for each $comp in $comps
copy ''\\server\share\fonts\font.ttf' '\\'+$comp+'\c$\windows\fonts\'
next
