Detecting Installed Fonts
Hello, I was wondering it it were possible to detect if a certain font, or set of fonts is installed on the target computer? Type of project doesn't matter to me - can be InstallScript or basic MSI. I need to be able to detect if a handful of fonts is on the target computer, and install any that are missing as part of my installer.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Tim

InstallScript has Is(FONT_AVAILABLE, ...), which should do the trick.

Alternately, in a BasicMSI installer, you can create a System Search for your font in the [FontsFolder].
