FontRegister

It is easy enough to install fonts in Windows, but registering a large number of fonts could take quite a bit of time, and you may need to turn to a third-party software solution if you need to fix issues with the font registry.

FontRegister is a relatively simple program that can help you install multiple fonts much more quickly, as well as fix various issues with the font registry. It lacks a GUI, but it is easy enough to use.

A command-line application might not be for everyone, but one positive aspect is that you don’t need to install anything before using it. It is fully portable, so you can run it instantly from any location.

Once launched, simply set the location of the folder you wish to scan for font files. If you press Enter, the program folder will be selected. Confirmation will be required after the fonts have been located, and you can install all of them in one operation.

In addition to installing fonts, this utility also enables you to perform a maintenance operation in order to fix any issues with the font registry.

FontRegister can remove any stale font registrations, as well as repair missing font registrations for items located in the Windows fonts directory. In the case of FON files, this operation will be skipped if the program cannot determine which of them should have hidden registrations.

Overall, FontRegister is a helpful utility that makes it easier to install large numbers of fonts and allows you to fix various issues with the font registry. It is not particularly novice-friendly, since it does not offer a graphical user interface, but it relies on a simple set of commands that should be easy enough to work with.
