Installing Fonts

I am interested in writing an application to install fonts on our web
server. Currently, when the server is rebooted, one has to remember to
run an asp page that has the code built into it to install the fonts. I
would like to right a .Net program that runs at startup to do this. So
far though, all I can find to do this are references to the
PrivateFontColl ection. This appears to make fonts available only to the
application and not to the system. How can I make fonts available to
the system?

I'm trying to install FontTools ("a library for manipulating fonts, written in Python") on a Win XP box, and I'm given a bit of pause that this process seems to require downloading some MS .NET framework packages -- at least, this is what the "setup.py" script has told when I've tried to run it: "error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building extensions for Python."

What is going on with this? We created an installer for Access 2003 Runtime using the P & D Wizard from Access 2003 Dev Extensions. It appeared to be fine but on some computers it simply hangs on "Installing fonts" and the Task Manager shows "not responding." Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks in advance for all responses.

Hi, I have installed a truetype font (.ttf) on a linux machne (SUSE linux 10, KDE) by copying it to my .fonts folder. I can use the font in all applications like open-office and firefox browser. However, I cannot use the font in a python app that I am writing. The list returned by Tkfont.families does not contain this particular font. Any suggestions ?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
