On a startup, Ted4 and Fred4 check fontObjs on the GN4 server, and download and install the missing fonts on the client.

This works only for fonts with binary data loaded in database.

The fonts check is turned on by default. You can turn it off by specifying the appropriate switch in the command line (/no check for the locally installed client, and similar for ClickOnce 2.0 or newer - see ClickOnce and command-line switches).

If the application is running with administrator privileges fonts are installed in the Windows font directory permanently.

If the application is not running with administrator privileges, fonts are downloaded to the user temporary directory and installed from here. After a reboot these fonts won't be visible anymore and will be downloaded and installed again on the next run.

Installing font through EdAdmin command line

EdAdmin4 can install fonts if launched with the arguments /installfonts.

To use the /installfonts switch EdAdmin4 must be launched with administrator privileges.

After the font installation EdAdmin4 exits.

Therefore, this is suitable to be used in a command line.
