Hi, how do I install and register a font using webstart? I'm
installing to Windows at the moment but later I'll be installing Linux
etc...

Thanks, Elon.

Java has no special support for installing fonts to the system. You can
however read the font from the Jar file and use it by way of
Font.createFont.

You don't know where the admin or the user put the windows-directory. It's
much safer to use Font.createFont(...); in this case.
