Thanks Charles, this worked well.

I was also hoping that someone might also have the code to tell the registry to keep the font after the machine has been restarted. For now, I can live with running this code if the FOXFONT isn't already installed.

By the way, does anyone know of a good way to test if a font has been installed?
I am currently using the following clumsy code which works, but maybe there is a better way:

lFontinst = FONTMETRIC(7,"foxfont",0) = 7

Thanks,
