any component to font install ?

[Vahan Babakhanian]

i need to have an ability to install fonts remotely through asp pages,
uploading new font files.

is there such component in ASP?
if now what is the solution?

thanks in advance for help

You have the user download the TTF and install it manually, or you write an
ActiveX control that they can allow to handle it for them.

If you just want to have a custom font on your web page, consider embedding
fonts ([url]http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/default.htm[/url]).

Neither solution involves ASP at all.

unfortunately, I have never wtitten ActiveX

is it possible to do it somehow by CGI ?

or any way to immitate in a command line "install font xxx.ttf" command

i can write an asp script for upload ttf files, add dynamicly new name(s)
and path(s) to this line and execute it

NO!

CGI runs on the *SERVER* ... a font would have to be installed on the
*CLIENT*
