Font Loader and Register Server Shell Extensions
Ran across this useful utility since I’m loading a ton of fonts on my XP laptop (Windows 7 already has this kind of thing built-in). It adds a context menu entry to load/unload or install/uninstall fonts when you right-click font filetypes. Nifty.
Warning, though. It installs the fonts in-place, rather than moving them to the Windows fonts directory. This means two things: put them in their own folder, like My Documents\Fonts, and don’t delete them.
I only realized that after I installed them, so I moved the files then edited the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts to repoint the file locations.
It also supports adding a register/unregister dll context menu entry, something I’ve done with manual registry hacks before. That’s cool.
