Tobias:

Try this:

Unfortunately that approach doesn't work with Type 1 fonts since they require more than one file to install/uninstall. The code itself even states that it won't work with them.

Any other ideas?

How can I uninstall fonts?

Mike Browning — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:30:38 GMT

Got a need to script the install of some Type 1 fonts on a number of Windows XP/7 boxes and I've found that scripting the install is easy but I some of the installs are updates to existing fonts therefore I want to remove those fonts first so they install cleaning with the updated version, i.e. no "do you want to overwrite" prompts. I can't seem to find a way to uninstall/remove fonts from the system via Powershell. Anyone done this before with Type 1 fonts?
