Chocolatey Font Helpers Extension

The **chocolatey-font-helpers.extension** provides helper functions to assist Chocolatey packages easily install and uninstall "loose" (i.e. without an installer) FNT, FON, OTF, TTC, and TTF fonts system-wide.

This extension is based on a [MS Blog post](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/deploymentguys/2010/12/04/adding-and-removing-fonts-with-windows-powershell/) and became all-but necessary when newer versions of Windows started redirecting the often-used `AddFontFile()` method into the user's profile rather than the `C:\Windows\Fonts` directory as it had for many previous years.

These functions may be used in your Chocolatey package install/uninstall scripts by declaring this package a dependency in your package's nuspec.

### USAGE:

* **Single Font:** *Will return a "0" for success and a "1" for failure.*

`Install-ChocolateyFont "FilePath\FontName.ext"`

`Uninstall-ChocolateyFont "FontName.ext"`

* **Multiple Fonts:** *Will return the number of successful installs/uninstalls*

`Install-ChocolateyFont $ListOfFontPathsOrFolder -multiple`

`Uninstall-ChocolateyFont $ListOfFontFileNames -multiple`

* **(New!) Wildcards:** Install now accepts a wildcard (must use `-multiple`)

`Install-ChocolateyFont "FilePath\BaseFontName*.ext" -multiple`

* **(New!)** Uninstall-ChocolateyFont should now work with *zero* parameters. Install should create a log file ("FontFilesInstalled.log") in the `$env:ChocolateyPackageFolder`. Uninstall will use that (if present) to identify the fonts to remove. Your *entire* `ChocolateyUninstall.ps1` could be a simple as: `Remove-Font`

Let the easy-peasy font packages flow!
