It's quite simple, although devious
a. Prepare and store a "pure" fonts folder. I put mine in the Applications
Support Folder names "Required Fonts"
b. iDo Script Schduler runs "Main" applet which trashes the Fonts folder, copies
"Required Fonts" to the System Folder then renames it "Fonts"
c. Have your script restart the Mac
d. In the Startup Folder is an applet that empties the trash.
These scripts do a lot of other tasks, also but this is how I got around the
"can't move fonts" problem
