If you NSIS 2.0b or the latest CVS, you can put the fonts.dll-file in the 'Plugins'-directory of your NSIS installation. In the script, extract the font in a temproary directory using File and GetTempFileName. Then you can use the following code instead of your own code (change CFBSFONT.TTF to a suitable path):

PHP Code:


			
fonts::registerFont "CFBSFONT.TTF"

But read this thread carefully. You also have to change or add some registry values and stuff.

If there are still any questions, post your complete script as an attachment and someone will help you if possible.

I have changed your script, but the file is currently at another computer. I will post it in the afternoon in this thread. B.t.w. I couldn't test it, since I don't have fonts.dll installed and i don't have the files you have (including the font).

The way you are installing the VB files in this script is not the best way. Please see: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/....php?pageid=47
