Is there an easy way to network deploy fonts with Windows Server 2003 and a Windows XP client base?

If you use Active Directory you could build an MSI for the fonts and deploy via GPO.

The easy, but hack way, to do this, is to add a copy command to the login script for everyone that needs the font.
Something along the lines of:
net use y: \\server032\fontshare
copy y:\arial.ttf C:\Windows\Fonts
net use /delete y:
Yeah, it's truly a hack way to do it, but it should work in theory.
SMS/SCOM is your friend.
