How to use FontRegAdv to install fonts

Hi,

I am using NSIS to build an installer for my application, but I need to install also some fonts to use them in the app. I am using the fonts macros here. But I get an error in the un.Fonts section (uninstalling the fonts) here is my code

This one for the uninstall:


Section "un.Fonts"

  StrCpy $FONT_DIR $FONTS



  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\digital-7(italic).ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\digital-7 (mono italic).ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\digital-7 (mono).ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\digital-7.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\DIGITALDREAM.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\DroidKufi-Bold.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\DroidKufi-Regular.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\DroidNaskh-Bold.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\NotoKufiArabic-Bold.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\NotoKufiArabic-Regular.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\NotoNaskhArabicUI-Bold.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\NotoNaskhArabicUI-Regular.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\NotoNastaliqUrduDraft.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\Thabit.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\Thabit-Bold.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\Thabit-BoldOblique.ttf'

  !insertmacro RemoveTTF '$FONT_DIR\Thabit-Oblique.ttf'



  SendMessage ${HWND_BROADCAST} ${WM_FONTCHANGE} 0 0 /TIMEOUT=5000

And this one for the install :

the "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\" is the path where the font file in my machine.

Section "Fonts"



  StrCpy $FONT_DIR $FONTS



  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\digital-7 (italic).ttf"

  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\digital-7 (mono italic).ttf"

  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\digital-7 (mono).ttf"

  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\digital-7.ttf"

  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\DIGITALDREAM.ttf"

  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\DroidKufi-Bold.ttf"

  !insertmacro InstallTTF "New folder (2)\Resdources\Fonts\DroidKufi-Regular.ttf"

Did you see this part on the wiki:
Font removal function do not seem to work at the momment
I made some changes to the code on the wiki, you can try it again now...

I read a lots of pages in the wiki and forum concerning this topic but I never encounter this one, can you give me a link to check please, at the moment I omitted the un.Fonts section to compile the installer but I need to add it in the future.
