📖 Description

Align user-scope font installation with the machine-scope model to address fonts missing from Windows discovery after sign-out or restart.

• Install user fonts directly into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts and register their absolute paths under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.
• Track original filenames separately from collision-renamed installed files using the same package inventory mapping strategy for both scopes.
• Add font repair using installed package metadata. Repair migrates existing nested user installations to the flat layout and restores discovery registrations without downloading fonts.
• Update validation, inventory, and uninstall to handle both layouts. Remove only mapped files and matching registrations, preserving unrelated files and the shared Fonts directory.

Machine-scope discovery registrations retain their relative filename values. Migration rollback is per-file and best effort.

🔍 Validation

Automated coverage checks exact inventory filenames, flat installation paths, REG_SZ discovery values, scope isolation, filename collisions, repair migration, failure handling, and uninstall cleanup.

Pattern suggestions ✂️ (2)

You could add these patterns to .github/actions/spelling/patterns.txt:

# Automatically suggested patterns

# hit-count: 1 file-count: 1
# assign regex
= /[^*].*?(?:[a-z]{3,}|[A-Z]{3,}|[A-Z][a-z]{2,}).*/[gi]?(?=\W|$)

# hit-count: 1 file-count: 1
# regex choice
\(\?:[^)]+\|[^)]+\)

Alternatively, if a pattern suggestion doesn't make sense for this project, add a # to the beginning of the line in the candidates file with the pattern to stop suggesting it.

• binary file (or some other file you wouldn't want to check at all).

  Please add a file path to the excludes.txt file matching the containing file.

  File paths are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can test yours before committing to verify it will match your files.

  ^ refers to the file's path from the root of the repository, so ^README\.md$ would exclude README.md (on whichever branch you're using).

• well-formed pattern.

  If you can write a pattern that would match it,
  try adding it to the patterns.txt file.

  Patterns are Perl 5 Regular Expressions - you can test yours before committing to verify it will match your lines.

  Note that patterns can't match multiline strings.
