Svar: Re: Needed: A shortcut to help user install downloaded fonts

[Chipp Walters]

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
