How so I get Pack&Deply to install fonts for me?

I havent done this for real, but I just whizzed through the P&D wizard to investigate.
(I use a 3rd party installer)
You can 'Add Files' to your setup.
You need to drag the font out of FONTS to somewhere else.When you do that, the copied file has a .ttf extension.
Then you can add files of type "*.TTF"
When you do that, the default installation path shows up later on as $(FONT) which should equate to the target system's font folder.
Try that, and tell us if it does not work.

Are these fonts that you have developed for yourself? Most commercial and Microsoft fonts are not licensed for redistribution, so check your licensing agreement before distribution

I gave up trying to work it out.
I just include the extra fonts with the application and get the user to manually install them.
It is mainly the Arial Narrow font that I use that was included with the original Windows98 but is not in the second edition and later

Please see my post above before breaking your software license agreement with Microsoft.
You are also going against forum usage guidelines by advocating software piracy.
