I believe it is a matter of 1) copying the font to the %WINDIR%\Fonts
directory, and 2) writing a registry key.

The key should be:

the Key Name is:
'font name (True Type)'
where you include '(True Type)' only if this is a true-type font

and the value is the file name with no drive or path information.


Let me know if this does the trick, since I haven't actually tested it
myself.

Good Luck,
Brian
