Exporting a font from a container field to the font folder on Windows.

[HALBURN]

I am trying to export a font from a container field to the font folder on Windows. I have it working on my Mac but I cannot get it working on Windows.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

"/c:/Windows/Fonts"  &  $filename

There should be a "file:" or "filewin:" prefix to make the path complete

You're also missing a "/" after "Fonts"

Lastly: the user may not have write privileges to that folder

Thanks. I made the changes but it's giving me an error when I try to save the font.

filewin:/c:/Windows/Fonts/FontAwesome.otf

That's probably a permissions issue... not a whole lot you can do about that unless you want to get into OS-level scripting

Thanks Wim. I guess that I will just save them to the desktop and let the user install them manually.
