Hi Mark,
I don't think it's necessary to change any registry settings to
install a font permanently on Windows. You just copy the font to C:/
Windows/Fonts and you're good to go.
As I mentioned earlier, altFont installs fonts (not in the Fonts
directory) temporarily, so that users can work with them, but not
have them permanently installed. This is great for lots of
different kind of applications. For instance, one could make a font
viewer application, or an application like Suitcase, which installs
and removed fonts on the fly.
best,
Chipp

Hi Chipp,
My experience on early versions of our installer revealed many
problems for users when we just dropped the fonts into the
directory. Most users reported problems when the system was
restarted. I found the same problems on my systems over here as
well. Applications would just not show the fonts after the restart.
Things got real smooth once we used an actual installer to do the
work. I would love to be able to remove that portion of the workload
if we could do it reliably.
