Adrian,
Another option would be to install the fonts in the /Library/Fonts
directory which should make the fonts available to every user on the
machine.

Thanks to Mark and Marc, both solutions are useful.
The Administrator will be using this Installer in all cases.
So I guess a simple "~/library/fonts" will suffice.
Many thanks,
Adrian

Adrian,
If you are referring to the logged on user then the path is always
~/Library/etc. If you are referring to all users, then you need to
list the /Users directory which will give you a list of the
accounts on the local machine. You should be able to parse the
username from the listing of that directory. You will probably
need to use a sudo command if you are trying to install fonts in
any other user than the one currently logged on.

Hi Adrian,
On the Mac, that's "~/library/fonts".

Hello all,
Installing fonts into the Public domain is a breeze:
MacHD/Library/Fonts/MyNewFont.ttf
But I need to install and uninstall fonts in the Users domain. For
example:
MacHD/Users/someunknownname/Library/Fonts/MyNewFont.ttf
How can I retrieve 'someunknownname' from any computer and place
it in a variable in the pathname?
Thanks,
Adrian
