En wat is er mis met naar de fonts directory te gaan (via control panel of
c:\windows\fonts) en dan File -> Install new font? Ik weet het, het is niet
echt cool...

Als ge echter op zoek zijt naar een programatotische en coolere manier om uw
fonts te installeren, dan is blijkbaar de enige methode te foefelen met de
registry. Het volgende citaat uit MSDN zou moeten helpen om dat te doen. 't
komt erop neer  AddFontResource te gebruiken.

Installing Fonts
By carrying out these steps, you can write a single font installation
routine that works for both Windows NT/Windows 2000 and Windows 95/98:

If you use the installer, fonts are registered automatically.

Determine whether the platform is Windows 95/98 or Windows NT/Windows 2000.
This distinction is important because Windows 95/98 allows a shared network
installation where most system files, including fonts, are stored on a
centrally managed server. To determine the platform, look in the following
registry location for a "SharedDir" value.
HKeyLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

The data value of "SharedDir" is the UNC name of the server and sharepoint
of the shared directory. In most cases, a shared directory is marked as
read-only by the system administrator, so your installation program should
also check to see if it can write to this location. If it cannot, it should
let the user install the fonts in a different location, or stop the setup
process.

Check whether the TrueType� font being installed is already present on the
system by using the EnumFontFamilies function. If that font is present, the
program should check to see if its version is newer by matching the
installed font name with the filename on the disk. For Windows 95/98, the
font name is stored in the following registry location.
HKeyLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fonts

For Windows NT/Windows 2000, the font name is stored in the following
registry location.

HKeyLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

The subkeys in this registry location contain the full name of the font file
as the value key, followed by the filename of the .TTF file as the key data.
If the filename in the registry is just a filename with no path information,
the font is installed in the \WINDOWS\FONTS directory for Windows 95/98 or
the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory for Windows NT/Windows 2000. Because TrueType
font files do not carry a version resource, your program will need to
retrieve the version string from the 'name' table in the .TTF file.

Before copying the .TTF file to the appropriate directory, the installation
program should check to see if the filename already exists in that
directory. If it does, the program should rename your .TTF file to some
other name, perhaps by appending a number to the end of the basename.
After copying the .TTF file to the user's disk, the installation program
should inform the system that it wants the font to be available. The program
should pass it the .TTF filename directly by using the AddFontResource
function. Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/Windows 2000 do not require the
creation of .FOT files.
To make the font installation permanent, the installation program should add
the font name and filename to the registry by writing both of the values to
the following registry location.
HKeyLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fonts
