Why do installed fonts disappear after reboot?

Question

At my place of employment we have designers who have to be able to install fonts to complete their work so I have given them write access to %sysroot%\fonts and to %sysroot%\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT through GPO and they can install and use fonts fine but after a restart these fonts disappear. Anyone have any idea why?

Windows 2003 Server running AD as PDC. Windows XP clients.

Thanks!

Solution

When you install fonts information also gets written to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts, so they will also need write access to that key.

Brilliant, added that to GPO. Will test ASAP. Thanks a lot!
