Universal Type Client has options for deploying its auto-activation plug-ins from the command line. Network administrators can use these commands in a remote management application or as part of a deployment script.
Universal Type Client for Mac
"Universal Type Client" --HeadlessInstallTriggeredFromInstaller
- --HeadlessInstallTriggeredFromInstaller Installs all available plug-ins.
The Universal Type Client executable is in /Applications/Universal Type Client.app/Contents/MacOS.
This command writes an entry into the preferences file for the current user that tells UTC to install plug-ins then exit. UTC won't be able to open normally until the preference is removed.
This command can be run using sudo to avoid having to update the preferences afterwards. To remove the preferences entry from the com.extensis.UniversalTypeClient.plist file of the current user:
defaults delete com.extensis.UniversalTypeClient "-HeadlessInstallTriggeredFromInstaller"
No messages are returned.
Universal Type Client for Windows
FontManagementUI.exe [/install|/uninstall]
- /install Installs all available plug-ins.
- /uninstall Removes all available plug-ins.
FontManagementUI.exe is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Extensis\Universal Type Client. These commands must be run with Administrator privileges or installing and uninstalling plug-ins will fail.
When running FontManagementUI.exe from the command line, no messages are returned.
