Script to install fonts (including .pfm/.pfb)

Question

I found this script somewhere in the Microsoft website that enables to install fonts, but it doesn't support ".pfm" and ".pfb" files, it says it should be enabled somehow. I'm looking to fix the script but don't manage to do it on my own. I'll attach the script I have right now and mention the changes I've done to it to try and support these files. If anyone can send me a version that enables those extensions or can lead me to a good direction I'd be very thankful.

Changes:

• Uncomment line 71: support .pfm files
• Add the if in line 125 according to the information found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wingdi/nf-wingdi-addfontresourcea
• Convert-path at line 459 so it supports internal network paths
• Add the if in line 468 for .pfm files.

It's not working for me, I use this script with a path to a folder in the following format powershell.exe \\path\to\script.ps1 -path \\path\to\folder\with\fonts\. Can someone help me?
