You should be able to distribute a new font with your application. Assuming
a new name, and you aren't trying to replace an existing font. You can, but
someone is bound to get a little upset. <g>
As for permissions - Windows Platforms and administrators are getting
tighter on security, so anytime you deal with a 'system' area it could be an
adventure. Try it and see what problems you run into, and deal with those
specific issues.
If you are loading your own fonts separately from the other fonts it doesn't
matter then place them in the program directory or 'Application Data'.
