Installing Fonts

I am interested in writing an application to install fonts on our web
server. Currently, when the server is rebooted, one has to remember to
run an asp page that has the code built into it to install the fonts. I
would like to right a .Net program that runs at startup to do this. So
far though, all I can find to do this are references to the
PrivateFontCollection. This appears to make fonts available only to the
application and not to the system. How can I make fonts available to
the system?
