George, You are right.
After doing more research on the subject we now do it with a C++ function we done. We call this function from VFP after the fonts are copied in the Fonts Dir.
The function will register the Fonts for WinNT only because we found that coping the font in the fonts dir. is all me need for Win95/98.
A draft of the function in C++ for WinNT
#include
#include
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow )
{
HKEY hKey;
RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows
NT\\CurrentVersion\\Fonts", &hKey);
RegSetValueEx( hKey, "FoxFont 7,9", 0, REG_SZ, "FoxFont.fon", 11 );
RegCloseKey( hKey );
AddFontResource("FoxFont.fon");
RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows
NT\\CurrentVersion\\Fonts", &hKey);
RegSetValueEx( hKey, "FoxPrint (TrueType)", 0, REG_SZ, "FoxPrint.ttf", 12 );
RegCloseKey( hKey );
AddFontResource("FoxPrint.ttf");
