how to instal or copy font file to windows fonts folder

Question

I am performing a simple operation to copy font file(ttf extension) from a downloaded location to fonts folder, but its not working,

usrPath = os.environ['USERPROFILE']
src=downloadFont()
print("Downloaded Location:", src)
#dst=usrPath[0]+':\\Windows\\Fonts\\anmollipi.ttf' # this one doesnt
dst="C:\\Users\\Teacher\\Desktop"  # this one works
print("Install location",dst)
copyfont(src,dst)

I hope some one can look into and help me out !!!

Answer 1

make sure you have read write access to Fonts folder, sometimes even if you are logged in as user on a system with Admin rights you need to change the folder permission to perform the file write operation...

Answer 2

I don't know what's in the USERPROFILE environment variable since you haven't told us yet, but I doubt very much it should have a ":\" appended to it. That would only make sense for drive letters (e.g. just "C" or "D" without the colon), and USERPROFILE is supposed to be a path.
