Anyway to persist user install fonts witih UEM

Since I don't think these are stored anywhere in the user profile and only in %systemroot%\fonts has anyone found a way to persist user installed fonts?

Hi sjesse,

As far as I know, only admins can install fonts, so that will be tricky, I think.

I did (just now :slightly_smiling_face: find out that as of Windows 10 Version 1809 there's an option for non-admins to install fonts (just for their own use, i.e. the fonts won't be available system wide). That seems to result in changes in one folder and one registry key:

From a (very quick) experiment it seems to work if you just capture that folder and registry key with UEM.

Thanks, I think they added in 1803, because you can install fonts from the windows store now. Someone is telling me it worked at  one point, but I'm on windows 7 for 90% of my desktops  so I don't think its possible without a writeable volume. We are moving to a fully updated environment soon starting with winows 1809 so I'll try this when we get that far.
