Hi,

Is it possible to add a custom FONT in WinPE (23H2)? I have imported font in Windows\Fonts directory but it is not visible when booted to WinPE.

    Hello,

    There is an opttion to add fonts to WinPE with teh available WinPE Optional packages

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/winpe-add-packages--optional-components-reference?view=windows-11#where-to-get-winpe-optional-components

    Or you could just try copying over the font file to %windir%\fonts folder in winpe

    Then edit the WinPE Registry to add the font name. (String Value)

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts:

    Thanks

    Darrell

    @

    Darrell Gorter thanks for the suggestion, the registry trick worked.

    The link on the other hand is a detailed procedure to add PE packages but lacks the description to add "custom" fonts.
