You can check during runtime but I think a better way is to make sure the font exists when the program is installed using a postsetup.exe. But either way,
if !file("c:\winnt\fonts\arial.ttf")
run /N fontinstallprogram.exe
endif
You could also prompt the user with a messagebox() to allow the install or not.
