Hi Thomas,
Thanks very much for your feedback.
Since the test result on my side reveals that it still can be used in the
current winform application without restarting, I assume you mean that you
can use the font in *other* applications after its installation with code,
yes?
Yes, I see your concern, installing a new font may be a common requirement
in ClickOnce application, so including such a feature should be useful.
The reason the ClickOnce did not include this feature is that the ClickOnce
deloyment normally does not touch the system directories. This is an
important difference with MSI deployment technology. In the table of "Key
Differences" section of the article below, you will see that, the ClickOnce
deployment does not conver:
"Install to GAC"(GAC is another system directory)
"Write to Registry"
"Install for All Users"
etc... While these can all be done with MSI:
"Choosing Between ClickOnce and Windows Installer"

ml/clickoncevsinstaller.asp
So we have to code ourselves for the font installation.
Hope this makes sense to you. Thanks.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
