Answer 1

If creating an MSI package, you can register a Font by taking these steps:

• add the Font in the Files and Folders page.

• double click it or from the context menu select “ Properties ”.

• select the Registration Tab.

• enable the " Register font " checkbox.

• write the "Registration Name" only if the font is not True-Type.

Advanced Installer also offers support to install fonts from MSIX package. To install the font by an MSIX you need to add your font file in " Files and Folders " and create an install font declaration for the MSIX package.

To create the font declaration Go to Universal Windows > Declarations, right-click on the application entry and select Add Application Declaration > Shared Fonts.

Press New > [...] to select and add your font as a shared font.

Please keep in mind that when installing the font by the MSIX, the fonts are installed per user not per-machine, meaning only the user that installed the MSIX has access to them .
