Uwe, how does this strategy compare to yours?

Attached is a nsi script to install/uninstall the required fonts. You
can easily change between xft-fonts and bakoma. (one line in script)
I need more lines as I let the user decide what to use.
Johann can you test my font install routine, that is built in the
following installer:
http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Installer/lyx_setup_136proposal.exe
(The source code is in the attached skript)
Here the description (taken from a previous message to the lyx-devel list):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The font installation should now work on XP, 2000, ME, and 98. I found
some useful scripts in the NSIS forum but has to modyfy them to work
with NSIS 2.06 and for special LyX purposes. I uploaded:
http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Installer/lyx_setup_136smallAlwaysFonts-v13.exe
This version installs the fonts no matter if they are yet installed.
This has the following advantage:
- Users which currently use LyX 1.3.5 and have installed the LaTeX-XFT
fonts can benefit from the BaKoMa-fonts. They choose them in the
installer and the XFT-fonts will be replaced.
- Users who have the BaKoMa-fonts installed probably don't have the
wasy10.ttf installed. This was my fault as I forgot them in the font
package when I announced it. (I fixed this two weeks ago.) These users
also benefit from the "install always" method as the wasy-font is installed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same is implemented in my actual package. (plus a bugfix)

thanks and regards
Uwe
