Installing a font using C#

[Johan Mårtensson]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows how to install a system font using C#?
I know it doesn´t do the trick to simply copy the font to the font
directory, it just doesn´t become active.

Any ideas?

You need to first copy the font file to a directory, e.g. %winddir%\Fonts
and then call the Win32 function AddFontResource()
