Hi,

I'm trying to use Wachunga's Font Auto-Install Script (found here: https://github.com/wachunga/rmxp-auto-font-install), but am having a bit of trouble.
You see, I've been testing it on different computers, and I've found out that any Windows Vista or 7 computers which have the User Account Control setting turned on will prevent the script from working and simply crash the game.

I simply get an error message that states:

Script 'Game_Temp' line 0: Errno::EACCES occured.

Permission denied - C:\windows\Fonts\*font name*.tff

I'm afraid that I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this. Is there any way to prevent the script from being blocked by User Account Control, aside from turning User Account Control off? Some small edit to the script, perhaps?

Thanks to everyone in advance thumbsup.gif

You need administrator privileges by default to be able read/write/add/delete fonts. Your User needs permission to be able to access them. There isn't a way to be able to code into a program to access them, if the program itself and it's user doesn't have access. Sorry. confused.gif

However, if you have this said font not in the windows font folder, and, say, in your project folder, you can change the file path to where it is in your project, and it should work fine. If your parents (I'm guessing they are the ones with admin access) won't let you access or copy and move them, you can always download fonts from the internet and just move them into your folder.

Some trustworthy sites are:

dafont
and
1001fonts
