Is there any way to add add project only True Type fonts (TTF) in AutoCAD 2008 / 2006?
I don't want to have to add the font to the Windows Fonts folder on every workstation (100+ workstations).
Want to be able to add project related fonts to a server location that is used when AutoCAD is started using the shortcut profile for the project.

Tried adding an entry in the Support File Search Path, but this only seems to work for SHX and not TTF.

Entry looks like;
W:\CADWorkSpace\ClientResources\Client1Standard\Fonts

Any help would be much appreciated, or at least confirmation I am stuck with the Windows Fonts folder.

I'm certain the TTF fonts have be to installed into Windows. Windows registers them and makes the list of available fonts known to programs such as AutoCAD. With SHX fonts AutoCAD will create its own list as only AutoCAD can use them.
