1. Advanced Font Help Needed
Okay, I've read all about the AddFontResource thing in the Windows API.
I've got to call it after I've installed a font. But the documentation
doesn't tell me what DLL it's in. I also don't know how to do
SendMessage and broadcast a WM_FONTCHANGE to all the top-level windows
in the OS. So, please, can somebody give me the skeletal step-by-step?
Thanks!

This should be simple enough to answer. If you have the handlers, you can
simply loop through them, and call SendMessage() to each handler. EG:
for x = 1 to length(wndHandles) do
void = SendMessage(wndHandles[x],WM_FONTCHANGE,0,fontHandle)
end for
If your using Win32lib, you should be able to use getHandles() to get a list
of all the controls / windows.
And AddFontResource() should be declared in user32.dll

The docs I have for AddFontResource says you can set the hwnd parameter
to HWND_BROADCAST and that should go to all the top-level windows!

atom Result
Result = w32Func(xSendMessage, {HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0})
