open a directory or install font properly
hello
i have a problem i create a installation for my application and this application create barcode. the application use font to create barcode so in my installation copy barcode fonts in windows font directory. But when i launch my application, i can't create barcode, i have letter or number in place of barcode. but if i open the windows font directory one time, the application create barcode correctly.
so i want to know if is possible open a directory during installation and close directory before the end of my installation. Perhaps theres is a command(dos) to install properly this fonts and not to make a simple copy in windows font directory.
thanks for your help.

On latest NSIS you can use the constant $FONTS to retreive the correct path

ramon18 both of my archive pages mention that after the example. The reason I haven't changed the example code is to allow these scripts to work with older versions of NSIS.

So put two examples codes, one explaining the older versions way, and the newest one.
